Thanks for the link, geo.

If you haven't already been there, here's his on-site portfolio:

I want to go the Children's Garden! Very impressive. I like how his work contains an element of attraction for those outside of the art and artsy crowds... easy access for "regular" folks. Perhaps his reliance on Nature and her laws, especially renewal and transformation, is what makes his work appealing to me.

Way to go geo! By my calculations it's the equivalent of a marathon on ice... pretty impressive! (I just checked the site and it's billed as a Xcountry ski marathon - da!) Did you hit any walls or were there times where you thought you might not make it? Did the boys come and cheer you as well? Did you guys stay in town?
