Here are a couple of pictures from Eve's camera from the bike trip. Also I put the rest of my pictures and her pictures on flickr.

Bike Trip Pictures
We just made it back to Hilo after riding from Punalu'u Beach over Volcano. It took us six hours to ride the 30 miles (and 4000 feet) up the volcano but only one and a half rainy hours to ride the 30 miles back down to Hilo. Other than that the weather was nice for the whole trip and we didn't regret not bringing sleeping bags! Here are some pictuers from the trip:

Hawaii Tomorrow
I'm going to Hawaii tomorrow, I think it's going to take most of the day to get there since I have a layover in Honolulu before I get to Hilo. I'm excited to go from the second rainiest city in the US to the rainiest according to Martin. I just tried to look that up and it seems like it isn't accurate at all but it's good enough for me.

Mt. St. Helens Lava Tubes
Last weekend Zelda, Rosie, Tommy and I went to Mt. St. Helens to climb through the Ape Cave lava tube and to run around in the sun. We left on Saturday afternoon so we could beat the crowds at the lava tubes. We camped on the side of the road in the National Forest and then in the morning I ran up a quarter mile to the base camp for people who are summiting St. Helens. We ate breakfast, went to the lava tubes and climbed through only meeting a few people along the way but when we came out the parking lot was packed, it seems like everyone was just behind us. After that we split a watermelon, went on walk through a lava forest and then found a lake to swim in. I climbed on a log and paddled it pretty far into the lake. Coming home we got stuck in traffic but it was still great. Here's some pictures:
The view of the top of St. Helens, and everyone eating breakfast.
In the cave!

Bone House Pix

Last weekend Emily and I went to Discovery Park and sat on the beach waiting for the sun to come out from behind a cloud. It was nice even though the sun stayed behind the cloud. It was clear so you could see Mt. Rainer, it's in the background in this picture.
We have this cool balcony, here's Brandon, Bean, Eric, Emily and Tommy doing their Beatles impression. A long time ago Emily started to make a Settlers of Catan game and Becca, Eric, Rosie, Tommy and I finished it over the weekend. This picture is of the end of our first game. I think we need to make a few more land tiles but other than that it's great.

Things that happened recently
Becca and I recorded a little bit while I was in San Francisco but unfortunately I got sick and we didn't get much that we liked down. I think she is going to come visit Seattle in about a week but everything will be really busy around then, hopefully we get a chance to do a few songs.
It's gonna be crazy because we are getting ready to move out of the Yellow House. I started taking down the wall made of crates in my room today, it's really sturdy and soundproof so it's cool to see how it looks inside:
I have been having a lot of bike problems recently. A few weeks ago my front derailer broke but I never used the big cog in the front very much so I just took it off. I also got a few flat tires in a row and had to replace the tube because the valve stem was broken and then on Friday I broke a spoke on my way home. I got a new spoke yesterday and got the freewheel off to put it on. I trued my wheel somewhat but some of the spokes are frozen and so I can't get it as true as I would like. I'm riding about 70 miles a week just coming to and from work so probably I should be checking everything out more often so I don't have as many problems.
Also, Emily's Final Line show was last week, I forgot to bring my camera but here is a picture that was in her school newsletter, that is her display on the right. She is done with school now for the summer and got her apparel design degree.
