What can I do for you? We need to do something other than empty thoughts as we have become desensitized with all the craziness in the world that when someone hears that saying it means nothing. Show love in action be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ! Solid Rock Radio believes the creative people who produce the great music we play deserve to be paid for their work.

These days (for those born into fortunate circumstances at least) with the availability of worldwide flights, access to borrowable money and few travel restrictions. I'm done with putting my feet to the fire for your vicious cause [Chorus] You broke your word and every bit of trust we had in you, but who knew.
As the largest platform accessible to divers off the coast of California standing in just over feet of water, Eureka boasted an immense and colorful reef. We found ourselves transfixed by the thousands of schooling sardines, tired, but determined Garibaldi defending there newly laid clutches of eggs and jacks hustling betwixt the beams.
These platforms were not only rich with life, but diver friendly, allowing relatively unrestrained access to their reefs below -- some divers even proceeded to harvest enormous scallops the size of tennis balls from her legs. Despite California's law requiring that artificial reefs be placed in areas where they are needed, we found it difficult to deem these artificial structures teeming with life, as not needed. Life thrived amongst the beams of every platform, just as the larger deeper species claimed the ghostly wreckage of the Olympic II to be home.
Not only were we able to take away the recreational value of the vibrant beauty generated by the species decorating these platforms -- but we also glimpsed the sustainable harvesting potential of these platforms. A harvest that we not only witnessed, but enjoyed whilst snacking away between dives on raw scallops scraped from Elly, Ellen and Eureka's legs. In this way, we participated in the small circle of life that thrived quietly beneath the industry of oil above.
No more than 5 minutes after that brief statement and a laugh we found ourselves traversing a fairly ice packed snow field. Thankfully if you slipped you would slide slowly down in to dirt and not a boulder field my worst fear.
Possibly off some of the side spurs of trails we passed and the one jeep road we ran for abut. I remember this due to the route clearly stating that we must stay on this jeep road. I tend to go in overly prepared and I like to look at routes. I cant speak enough of placing your route on your watch or taking a map if able.
I am a better safe than sorry gal. B and I have also invested in a spot me tracker… I cannot say enough about theses things as well, sure sometimes tracking can get off however when you are alone in the wilderness having a tracking devise with you can make all the difference. It has let me know countless times that he was safe on some pretty burly mountain routes and today he was able to track me the entire route… only caveat was that it stoped a mile short of when I turned it off.
Choosing the more logical route led us to crossing three more snow fields of questionable nature as we became increasingly aware that a small wrong move could send us rolling down the mountain side below. Thankfully the snow was soft and we took careful and calculated moves to cross about 2 foot stretches of icy packed snow.
The temps of the day were quite manageable, really only requiring a jacket in you pack just incase a long layer and something lighter underneath. The winds were something quite fierce on the pass, requiring you to hang on to dear life to your hat and glasses.
The long the decent down wound down in to the trees, this part of the trail had us crossing stream after stream, we ended up losing count but estimated that we crossed about runoff streams, creeks and small stretches of water. So much of the route is runnable yet not at the same time.
Short steep spurts, followed by flat section with the most spectacular colors. I cant wait to visit in august to see what it holds. Jagged mountain tops surround us and as we climbed and climbed the tops of the giants we were surrounded with seemed to climb along. Part of us had this sinking feeling that we would have to climb one of these giants to make it out.
Right before our switchbacks started we asked a guy running down from the pass if we had to do some technical magic on this thing. Seeing as we had never been up here we had no idea, only where the route went and that we were in for a long haul. It was a long day out. Pawnee pass had some brutal winds and hit us hard.
