When I travel I love to go to a great store and pickup something nice. I have a great Lamy pen from the UW bookstore outside Seattle. A Black Diamond backpack I picked up after meetings in Boise. Magazines from most every city I have traveled to. So we present some watering holes in Europe to grab a jacket before heading out. Or a place to grab a fresh pair of socks enroute. Enjoy.

Tracing the Edge – A 10 part video series featuring Gerry Lopez, Colin Haley & Krissy Moehl.

Our legends. Our heroes. Our rising stars. It’s easy to consider them super human, but dig behind all the tubes ridden, summits climbed and miles run, there are very human stories. Shot on location in the Pacific Northwest and abroad, we present a new video series tracing the careers of three Patagonia ambassadors – surfer/snowboarder Gerry Lopez, alpinist Colin Haley and ultrarunner Krissy Moehl.

A few weeks back on NPR I heard a story on a new documentary called The Cove. The film is about the slaughtering of dolphins off the coast of Japan. It’s making huge waves with environmental groups. Below is a trailer of the film.

On Yoga
by Lydia Zamorano
July 30, 2009

I don’t know when it started for me, but somehow, over the last ten years, yoga as a practice has melted into everything I do, as a continuous flow. My favorite translation of the Sanskrit word Yoga implies that everything is already united. The practice part is learning how to pay attention to this wholeness in every waking moment.

Looking forward to yoga on Thursday night. If you’ve never tried, give Restorative Yoga try, I promise you’ll feel amazing.

This is a video with Hal Koerner, the winner of the 2009 Western States Endurance Run. Hal is a Patagonia athlete.

The Western States Endurance Run is one of the oldest ultra trail events in the world and certainly one of the most challenging. The Run is conducted along the Western States Trail starting at Squaw Valley, California, and ending in Auburn, California, a total of 100 miles. The trail ascends from the Squaw Valley floor (elevation 6,200 feet) to Emigrant Pass (elevation 8,750 feet), a climb of 2,550 vertical feet in the first 4½ miles. From the pass, following the original trails used by the gold and silver miners of the 1850’s, runners travel west, climbing another 15,540 feet and descending 22,970 feet before reaching Auburn.

Most of the trail passes through remote and rugged territory, accessible only to hikers, horses and helicopters.

If you love Patagonia Clothing as much as me this is a much watch interview with Yvon Chouinard the founder and owner of Patagonia. He seems like he truly builds products for sports that he loves. What a dream job…
