Baja California: An alternative Thanksgiving.

My brother and I are driving there tomorrow. Yes, MEXICO. I obviously can't go longer than a few month without leaving the country. It's a road trip. Road trips are my absolute favorite kind of trips! Driving, camping and beachin'. I won't have internet, so I'll have to update when I'm back in Salt Lake next week.

This is the earliest in the season I've ever gone snowboarding. There was enough snow, so my dad and I went up to Brighton. Well, kinda enough snow. It's still important to watch out for rocks and little bushes everywhere. It was also a ...

Several celebrations marked the 80th anniversary of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's weekly broadcast, Music and the Spoken Word. On Wednesday, July 15--the exact day 80 years ago of the first broadcast--the Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square performed a concert at the Dee Events Center in Ogden, Utah. Dubbed the "8th stop" of their recently concluded Central States Tour, the concert was also a celebration of the ...

... you couldn't see the trail. Lovenia Lake is on the other side of the notch. We couldn't find where the trail continued down to the lake. I think it was under the snow. By this point we were all pretty tired so we decided to call it a day and turn back. The trail continues on past several other lakes and eventually ends at Bald Mountain. I think next summer we'll have to start the trail from Bald Mountain and see what we missed.

... get the pilot lit, but it would not kick on. I fought for another hour and was pretty mad because tonight was COLD. But there was nothing I could do about it know so we hunkered down, un-poped the camper as promised and buried ourselves in blankets.

Our sleep was very uncomfortable. Vanessa offered to sleep on the table, which was lowered to meet the booth-type seat, but it lacked the cushion. She piled the only blankets we ...

Nothing exciting, no longer tourists, just Intersate travelers. Crossed great salt flats, home of the Bonneville Speed . Stopped at Salt Lake City H-D for dots, clothes and a wind breaker. I have lots of excess wind from under the windshield, hope it helps. Sleeping early, need to make Nebraska tomorrow. May not post tomorrow as pictures get boring. Bye.

It's the thrilling Salt Lake City airport, where the polygamists get to use the special family check out line thought it's not as quick as you would expect. I am free of France! Got up at 7:00 this morning. Wendy's assistant or friend or associate Vladimir drove me to the airport in Marseilles and Molly to the train station in Aix en Provence. It was good-bye to my many friends and fellow writers. By the way, Molly spent the ...

... our hear rate up faster than running off the side of a mountain? How about coming down the canyon, and having your car hit a slippery spot, go spinning backward careening toward a guardrail with a twenty foot drop into a river. Since you are reading this you now know I didn't die. Nathan's superb driving skills saved us and we lived to return the snowshoes on time. Will write more stories as they evolve or don't.

... to Wal-Mart to find them closed. He swore they were open 24 hours before he left (found out later, they were never open 24 hours) Oh well, on to the airport. It hits me when we're sitting beside his truck that I'm gonna have to drive home in this strange town on my own...well, following him. We head on back home and by the time we get there and get him into bed it's after 1:30am. He got maybe 2 hours of sleep in less than 24 hours and still got up and went to work for 12 hours ...
