The search for Clay Rubano is over Thanks to so many people. To so many friends, family and just people that wanted to help. Thanks you for finding Clay.

I cannot seem to stop thinking about Clay. Could it be that I've not even started on my book. The book he said would help so many people? Could it be that we're in the middle of ripping our house apart and the last time we did that, he was here sleeping in all of the mess and helping us get through the chaos? Or is it that I just plain miss his laugh and funny ways?

Here is the latest news about Clay Rubano. He has been found but that doesn't mean it's any easier or that I have closure. I feel a little selfish that I feel this way and I know how hard this must be for Rachael and his family.

I know that if you take the time to read all of the blogs about him you will find out just how many people he shared his time and life with. I know I am so lucky to have known him and all of the people that knew him back. Aaahhhh, the pain it is to know someone so special is the pain to know that we may not have them forever.

Here is the update and you can read more at this web site. http://clayrubanosearch.com
"Spring search update 6/9/08
On June 8th, 2008 Clay Rubano was found in Sinks Canyon, outside of Lander, WY. A team of searchers discovered Clay approximately ¾ of a mile east of Sheep Bridge, which is on the Middle Fork trail of the Popo Agie River. Initial indications point to Clay falling from some height (perhaps 75 feet) north of the trail in this area. He was not on the trail. The area that Clay was found in was part of the search area that was drawn up last November. It was an area that had been searched with both people and dog teams. He was found in an area that was obscured from the air and required luck and persistence from ground searchers. The site had attracted two different dog teams last November but did not reveal any clues at the time.

The recent search event was comprised of volunteers from multiple states and agencies. The team that discovered Clay was made up of friends from Glacier National Park. Charlie Logan, the Incident Commander of this recent search, shared his appreciation of the search efforts that the Fremont County Search and Rescue team made last November. Without their thorough and well executed search efforts, Clay would likely not have been discovered so early in this recent search.

The Fremont Country Coroner’s Office is handling further investigation of the site where Clay was found. All requests for information should be directed to the Fremont County Coroner’s Office. # posted by Michelle Grainger @ 9:28 PM 0 Comments

It's summer, sort of.
Well, it's June and I hardly ever write in the blog. At least it's been sooner than a month. Oh well, that means I have time to play and work. Just as busy as this little bird making a nest. Think they abandoned this one, though, because it's right near our front gate and very busy and noisy. Three other bird houses are full so there will be plenty of little birds flying about soon.

Rode my mt bike twice last weekend, about 3 1/2 hours each day. Dirt roads, double track, and some single track. I'm kind of slow on the really rocky descents. Haven't even tried any jumps or drops. Don't have my technical skills honed in right now but that'll come quickly.

When I think what I used to be able to ride (technical) I'm basically a wimp now. The races in Italy ( 24 Hours of Finale) were so technical and I loved them. The first year I went to race in Italy I was so scared on my first pre-rides of the race course that I wanted to walk everything. ON the second loop of the same course I was able to clear almost everything and by race day I could ride with the guys. What a long time ago that seems to be.

I've been riding up near Peak To Peak and there's still a lot of snow on the mountains. Reminds me of the first year I raced in Montezuma's Revenge. Steve and I would drive up to pre-ride the loops and have to walk about 30 % of the highest course area. Too funny. We thought the snow would never melt. Of course it did and then the next few seasons it was a drought summer. Glad it looks more normal this year.
I'd like to start taking the Girls up to the mountains to hike 13 and 14-neers. of course we'll hike Audubon. Lucie's favorite. One hike I'd love to do is to take the Girls over Arapahoe Peaks to Tabernash area, have someone pick us up, spend the night and hike back the next day.

We've also have about a day a week of misty cool weather. Reminds me of the summers 10 years ago. I like days like this because I tend to get more done around the house.

Getting ready to fix the leaky roof and fix the drywall that the leaky roof wrecked. Uuuhhhggg! Home-oweing is hard sometimes.

Also trying to figure out if we can get away for several days to go to another search for Clay. I'm actually not sure I can handle it. I've realized that I've been ignoring how much his disappearance has affected me. # posted by Michelle Grainger @ 10:52 AM 0 Comments
