"Bay to Breakers 2008"

I was'nt prepared enough for the pain I put on my body this weekend running 7 1/2 miles on the streets of SanFransisco. BUT!!! I did it and I did it good. This year as you can see in the pictures, the participants were: me, my mom, my dad, my aunt Sussie, and Starr and Skye Stoddard, two really fun sister! We had seafood at Fishermans Wharf, Ice Cream at ?, and Ghiradeli Chochlate...needless to say we needed to run!

Bay to Breakers Run

This will be my second Bay to Breakers run and it is so much fun! The run is 7.46 miles and there is so much to look at that you dont even realize the distance you have to run. Looking forward to a weekend full of fun and seafood! yum!

The most challenging hike of my life

I went on a hike this weekend from the Yosemite valley floor to the top of vernal falls and a final climb to the top of nevada falls. It was a true challenge but when you finally make it to the top you literally feel on top of the world. I would totally recomend this hike to anyone who is up for a challenge and who loves the outdoors.

Thats Right!!!!

I caught this nice Rainbow trout in Camp Nelson at Belnap Campground, I would have to say that Belnap is one of my favoriote places to fish, I almost never strike out in this river.. and I respect its constant ability to maintain fish all year long. I don't take the fish from here because the chance is that if I release it, I may catch the same fish another day. Not only is this river a good place to fish but it is beutifull place to be...For some reason I catch myself visiting this place in the roughest times of the year. This year I fished it in deep snow, I fell on my butt, scraped my legs, and pretty much destroyed my body just to get to next fishing hole. I also showed up one day this winter and I kinda almost didn't make it out. The roads are not cleared into belnap, but still I tried to make it in my 2 wheel drive truck. I made it halfway in , and then all of sudden snow started to poor down like crazy. I got a tad frustrated and a little scared that I was going to get stuck in their and no one would find me. So I barely made it out, the roads that were clear on the way in were just covered with snow on the way out.. I was pretty upset to drive all that way and not being able even get my line wet, but oh well, when you love to fish like I do you take those chances.

Fishing to me is more than just a hobie

Fishing is my sweet escape to a place I can feel at peace, sure I love catching fish "who does'nt"?, but I really enjoy the outdoors. I truely enjoy the way the I feel when its just me and wide open spaces. My head is so clear and I feel amazing! Take some time to enjoy what is created before us, its truely awseome, so open your eyes to the beautifull things in life and enjoy!

Me and my home dog Sam "Anglers for Life"

Me and Sammy started to hang out this year and he has been a really good friend for me, he helps me stay out of those places I should'nt be. Thanks Sam! We caught these fish behind a rental house the Spencer Trust owns up on Highway 190.. so much fun, and memories that last!

My Dog "Inky" (I didn't name him)

I got this dog when he was about a year old or less, I gave him to friend because he was fighting with his brother prince who was my ex-girls dog. One night at school I got a call and my friend asked if I wanted him back and I was like hell yeah! So here he is back in my care and I love it, he is such a fun dog. Everytime I walk in the door he starts crying for me to come love him, sometimes he sees me, sometimes he hears me, but I really think he might even smell me.. hes so cool!

My nephew Brewin John Ford "he is such a stud"

Mr. Brewin John Ford was born on Febuary 4th 2008/ he is mr. miracle in all our lifes, I love to hold him and kiss his chubby little cheeks, He has big beautifull blue eyes!

Who is Cameron Welker?

He is someone you know, he's cute from head to toe. He is your friend in deed, and your friend in need. He is alot of things you may not see or notice, but what lies beneath is what makes this man. He lives for tomarrow and does what he can, he has hopes and dreams of things you may not understand. He is a little to much of what is kept inside, he has enough room for things to hide. He has been to the top and around the side, he has fought many battles and has learned a great deal. He is intersted in others and how they feel, he sometimes forgets how hard it could be. He is very dependent on me, he has high expectations for what is to come. He listens to most and learns from some, he challenges himself so he can grow. He likes attention he puts on a show, what else can I say but this me....Cameron Welker.....come and see!
