Carpenter Canyon Creek

Did you know there is a year-round flowing creek just behind Mount Charleston? Typically people know Mount Charleston for its hikes, occasional skiing, snow boarding and sledding. It's forested wilderness is an oasis to the desert valley below it. While going to the Nevada Department of Wildlife office to renew my fishing/hunting license; I received a magazine on fishing Nevada. My buddy and I found a marked location for fishing on Mt. Charleston; hopping on google maps we found the spot, Carpenter Canyon Creek. After a 10 mile plus 4x4 road we made it. The spring/snow-melt creek was small but loaded with Nevada's state fish, the Lahontan cutthroat trout. Caught and released 6 between my buddy and I. It was a stunning day trip and highly recommend it if you have a vehicle to get there. Located in deep draw of the mountains, vegetation, and rock formations also make it an excellent hike. If you have any questions about fishing or the outdoors, just shoot me a message and I'll do my best to help you out!

IS101 First Impression

    When first deciding what classes to pick for the semester, I saw IS101 and immediately thought perfect. With today's day and age technology dominates everything. Since it had been years since formal computer training this was a "no brainer" decision for me. 

    

    First receiving Albert Wu's first email on 1/18 (Martin Luther King Day), I began to assume this class is going to be in-depth. Further reading of the email, syllabus and first WebEx chat, my assumption appeared to be correct. Initially, I was partially demotivated but after speaking with Albert and completing B1, I had reassurance. Knowing that as long as I give the class all I have with a "HUN-DONE" mentality, Albert will help guide me to success in and outside of this class.

Overall, there was a slight rollercoaster ride with my morale; now I feel encouraged and inspired to do my best in this class.
