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!

... Reese, CEO of Bonneville International, distributor of the broadcast; Choir President Mac Christensen and Music Director Mack Wilberg. Former Music Directors Jerold Ottley and Craig Jessop, Associate Director Donald Ripplinger, and former Tabernacle Organists Robert Cundick and John Longhurst were in attendance. The anniversary concluded as it does each week with the Choir singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again."

... 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 ...

So we took off for Yellowstone, planning to camp inside the park one night. The ride in was full of fantastic views that kept change around every bend. With the weather continuing to be unseasonable cold ( so says the locals), views from the from the truck are still more common that the outside, taking-a-hike kind of pictures.

On the way out we ate at Irma's Grill(?), which is a historical land mark in Cody the rodeo capitol ...

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.

... quite aromatic when I open it at home: I bought a half wheel of cheese and various salamis. Hmmm! Connections in Chicago were tight as well, again with about half the time spent getting through security and immigration/customs. I must admit, however, that the customs folks were friendlier than I remember them in times past. Slept most of the way to Salt Lake City. So now I'm sitting in the commuter terminal, just 2 hours ...

I have returned to the Motherland once again for a short jaunt and some fresh air. This weeks adventure mainly consist of minor intoxication followed by physical exercise that then justifies overeating and more intoxication, sleep, then repeat. Today's adventure was in Big Cottonwood Canyon with Nathan. I rented some snowshoes and we headed up Guardsman Pass so we could have a nice view when we arrived atop the ...

FINALLY!! We're in Wyoming. We just have about another 300 miles to go before we get to Rock Springs. We were all hungry, including the Uhaul, so we stopped in Cheyenne. I was excited to see such a famous place. As few of you might know, it's not only in songs but it's a huge stop on the PBR (Pro Bull Riding) tour, and, sadly, the very place where Lane Frost (8 Seconds) was killed. I was expecting a little more for this to be such a well known place. There wasn't much at all where we ...
