It's the short cheesy battlecry that's become my trademark as I'm beginning a new journey or challenge. It's appropriate in a different way at the moment.Backtrack a bit: the blog stood nearly still the past few months because I had temporarily moved to my cabin up at Sandpile Springs near Ohiopyle in the Laurel Highlands. I started training to be a whitewater guide on the Yough, but before I knew it I took up a position as a Recreation Coordinator at Nemacolin Woodlands. For the unfamiliar, its a swanky 5 Star 5 Diamond resort in the heart of the Pennsylvania mountains. I operated out of their Adventure Center, running zip lines, ropes courses, paintball combat, and rock climbing... with the occasional guided hike, bike trip, or offroad Jeep ride.
It was a crazy combination of class and adventure. Rubbing elbows with some of the economic elite at a beautiful hotel and taking them to play in the mountains around Ohiopyle... yeah... it was a kick-ass summer... even if I had no internet to blog with.
I'm trading in my climbing harness and starlight for law books and city lights. After a long break, I'm going back to school to live out my dream of practicing law while attending law school at Duquesne University. Our apartment is a far cry from the secluded cabin I just got used to, going from a forest down a dirt road to a boulevard in the heart of the Steel City but a great change nonetheless.
I hope my reintroduction to regular internet service means that I can go back to multiple updates here during the week. But no promises yet... the workload of law school doesn't leave much time for blogging... or adventuring. But I will do my best to restore the Adventures of Captain Crash to what it was. Hopefully a few posts these next two weeks. Keep coming back.
Here's to a new adventure, and a challenge for the ages.
Tally-ho!
