Over 2000 miles of driving, 1 barber and a envelope to lock of love, 12 states, 4 razors, 3 days of kayaking lesson, 1 sisters graduation I now am ready:



Ok, now the about me-ish part: I'm Alex Kerney, and I live in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I'm going to be a junior in the geology department at Colorado College in the fall. During the winter I volunteer at Arapahoe Basin Ski Patrol. During the summer I am the director of the Adventure Camp at the local Y day camp (I run the overnight part of a day camp). I've just gotten started whitewater kayaking, and I just got finished up with taking a 3 day Beginner II course down at Zoar Outdoor which was a hoot and I got to do this:



Now I am what most scientist describe as hooked. I've been sea kayaking most of my life, but really taught myself, which is probably makes it a good thing that my dad lost all our spray skirts.
