Around Riverbend 2 Rainier
First, let me note that I will be sharing this adventure with my friend, long time
squash nemesis, and fellow sexagenarian
Bob Grieb.  Bob has tackled climbing
Pikes Peak last year and is now looking for a bigger challenge.  We will be
training together when schedules permit and might even try playing as partners
rather than adversaries  on the squash court.  My goal is to make sure Bob builds
enough strength and endurance to help get me to the summit and keep me
mobile as we descend.  

You should note that Bob will be using this excursion to raise funds for the
Pathways.  Pathways is a truly outstanding social services agency focused on
keeping families together and moving them toward self sufficiency.   Please click

Riverbend Environment
Education Center
Since 1974, Riverbend
Environmental Education Center
has been enriching the lives of
children and families through
engaging environmental
education.  From its beginnings
as a quiet nature preserve,
Riverbend has evolved to a
thriving center for environmental
education that touches the lives
of nearly 12,000 people annually.
At Riverbend, kids can just be
kids again, free to dig, touch,
build, explore and discover the
natural world around them.
Riverbend believes a steady
supply of sunshine, dirt & water
are essential ingredients for
healthy, happy children.  And they
are not alone; a growing body of
evidence supports the idea that
exposure to nature comprises a
vital part of children’s physical,
emotional and mental well-
being.
