Elaine and I are on a family vacation in Mexico. we thought a good
spot to put a sam stone would be at the Mayan Ruins in Tulum. It was
a beautiful spot, right on a ridgeline next to the ocean and the
Ruins. We took a picture but we are still in mexico and we cannot
upload it right now, but once we are home we will surley do that.
Keep the legacy going…

MJ says For February vacation my family, the Ebensteins, Alex Loud, and Chris Feloney visited Kicking Horse resort in British Columbia. We hiked Terminator Ridge and placed a Sam Stone at the top, it was a gorgeous day. The boys also placed one somewhere else at the resort but I wasn’t with them so I’m not sure where. We had a great vacation and after a whole night of flying we’re all exhausted. Hopefully there’ll be a snowday tomorrow!

This SamStone was placed on the grounds of the Ultimate Jerk Centre,
near Discovery Bay and Green Grotto Cave in Jamaica. The Ultimate
Jerk Centre is one of the best places to get jerk. It’s also a great
place to hang out with the locals. Local bands play at the Ultimate
Jerk Centre a couple of nights each week.

Hi John and Diane,
Larry and I were in Miami the other day. I placed a Samstone near the
ocean at South Beach, around 12th Street, a serene/breezy place during
the day in contrast to what goes on at night… The photo of the
Samstone in the sand is, well, just a photo. I actually left the
stone on the wooden fencepost. We think of y’all often.

Resend….
John, I met you at the 2007 CTRE event in San Diego during the dine
around. I was with Dan M, Melanie L, Joan C, et al. You had brought
up the SamStones and I mentioned I would possibly be going to Chile to
visit my girlfriend and I would love to take a stone there. Turns out
she missed me and came home early 🙂 So, I have been keeping the
stone in my view awaiting a great spot. This past week we went to
Chiapas, Mexico where I proposed to Rebecca under the moon on a
rooftop at our bed and breakfast. The SamStone came with us all the
way to the Palenque Ruins, Agua Azul, and a handful of Mayan towns.
We decided that since the essence of the stone was to keep alive the
love and memories of Sam, the best place for the stone would be in a
place we would never forget, the rooftop where we were engaged. We
knew we had made the right decision as later that evening on the same
roof under the same moon there was a beautiful lunar eclipse.
Kindest Regards,
Kevin

Sam Stone #3 – Charlotte-Amalie, St. Thomas, USVI
On our way home, we spent a day in Charlotte-Amalie. The
architecture there is very old European style. As I walked into the
courtyard of our hotel, I looked around and felt like I had been
magically transported to Spain in the 1800’s. Well, except for the
Pepsi machine on the right, which I did my best to pretend wasn’t
there. This place was just stunning. The photo can’t possibly do it justice.
Here’s another shot, taken through the window in our hotel room
door. This window contains neither screen nor glass, and needs neither.
The courtyard was filled with large potted plants, many of which
sported large colorful blooms. All of them had a layer of off-white
stones on top of the soil. One of them now sports a Sam Stone, which
blends right in. When I was preparing to take what would have been
the last photo of the trip (we were leaving for the airport to catch
our plane home), I pressed the button, and the camera said “Out Of
Memory”. Dang!

Sam Stone #2 – Waterlemon Cay Reef, Waterlemon Bay, St John USVI
This man has pneumonia. Why is he getting ready to swim out to
spectacular Waterlemon Cay reef, 1/4 mile off shore (in the
background, where the people are) ?
(1) He hadn’t yet been properly diagnosed. (2) He’s in denial of how
sick he really is. (3) He has a SamStone and an underwater
camera. (4) All of the above.
This will be updated when I get the film back from the
printer. There will be colorful fish, coral, and a Sam Stone.

Sam Stone # 1 – Maho Bay Eco-resort, Maho Bay, St John USVI.
This is most beautiful place I’ve ever been in my life. St John is
mostly undeveloped, a large portion of it being a National
Park. Even when the island is booked to capacity, you have large
expanses of pristine white beach all to yourself, especially if
you’re willing to walk, drive, or catch a cab to some of the more
remote beaches. I spent a week here with my family and three other
families from the Huntington/Richmond area. We stayed in a cabins
(more like canvas-covered tree-houses) just up the hill from Little
Maho Bay. There were no bugs to speak of, lots of lizards, and huge
terrestrial hermit crabs that the staff referred to as “the clean-up
crew”. The hermit crabs apparently eat anything, and seem to be the
dominant life form on the island. The temperature ranged from 72 to
85F every day (and night). The water was turquoise blue, and filled
with technicolor fishes and cool coral formations. The dining room
at Maho Bay Resort overlooks Little Maho Bay (Big Maho Bay is around
the corner to the left). I’ve attached a photo taken from the bar
(during one of the rare daytime rain showers), looking through the
dining room, toward Little Maho. This faces the sunset, which makes
for a pretty special dinner experience (the food was fabulous,
too). A second photo, taken from the same spot, but facing 90
degrees to the left, shows some of the massive collection of conch
shells that guests have left up in the rafters of the bar over the
years (probably in exchange for free drinks). If you look where the
rafters meet the post, you will spot a familiar name.

Amy,
Also, just yesterday me and my dad hiked up in the woods in Jerusalem close to our house where there is a cabin in the woods and I left a samstone at the cabin and then we snowboarded down.
