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.

... icy, but the icier the snow the faster you go! Nothing wrong with that :)

I learned to snowboard at Brighton about 11 years ago. My dad had to spend years waiting for me at the bottom of the hill, but now I have to wait for him!

... the faster way meant that there were higher speed limits and there were more opportunities to cut time off our trip. Turns out we were right.

Even though Steamboat was super fun and I got to see Boo for the first time since July, I was still psyched to get to Salt Lake because I had plans to visit with two friends from high school (eep). CC and LM moved out to Park City in early Sept to spend a season livin' the dream. Not only are they two of my favorite people from GA (where we ...

Friday #2:

Well, the 11 hr trip was way to long. The guy I sat next to never even spoke to me. If I had known that I would certainly have demanded my seat. All he did was sleep and snore on occasion. I tried to sleep, but couldn't. So I just spent my time watching a movie, looking at my script, or reading 'Tank Girl.' This was a book I picked up cheap somewhere and thought I would give it a go. Tank Girl used to be a mature comic book, and then a flop movie. But thought well for ...

... in Canada in October.  And I doubt my brother would choose turkey over a Corona on the beach.  

The first time I ever left this country was a visit to Tijuana, Mexico, which is just across the border in Baja California.  I remember kids begging for money, kids trying to sell things for money and bartering with people on the street for random souvenirs.  The second time we went to Mexico we drove through Arizona down to San Carlos, Sonora.  I was ...

... hanging on by July. Perhaps the extra precipitation is to blame for the mosquito problem.

One really neat part about this trail is that you can see the notch in the mountain as you approach Wall Lake, and as you continue on you eventually reach a series of switchbacks that lead you through the notch. Very cool. On this particular trip the notch was covered in snow so we had to climb up the mountain through the snow ...

... a diverse collection – most were built around the turn of the (20th) century, and some really haven’t had much of a facelift since. But others have been gutted, added on to, completely remodeled, etc. and the facade in front is the only original piece of the house left!

... blew over a truck. That is when we knew we had to stop. The next day we finished the trip, making it to Park City. We had traveled from the state of NY to Utah in 4 days. I think we were nuts. Well we spent 4 months in Park City, and that was just long enough. It was a great place to visit but we couldn't enjoy it because of our work schedule. We did have some good times though. We got to ski on our days off, see Salt Lake City, and lots of snow. Well enjoy the pics. Bye for now.
