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 ...

... which was short and sweet, and the next day we hiked the Notch Mountain Trail to a point just above Lovenia Lake, which wasn't short, but was well worth the effort. We started at the Crystal Lake Trailhead and passed the Lily Lakes, Wall Lake, Hope Lake, and a couple of ponds on the way. The big surprise? All the snow on the trail. Snow can linger in the High Uintas through part of the summer, but I've never seen so much of ...

They had a wooden walk way built over the pools which bubbled and steamed. Some were clear and blue, others were milk and smelled strongly of sulfur. We saw all kinds of steaming patches all around the Yellowstone lake, which was a sight in its own right. I wanted to rent a boat and paddle around but it was too late and too cold. So we headed back to camp.

As soon as we pulled in to our spot, some campers ...

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 was still too hazy to take a good picture. I sat next to the most homely woman on the plane. She was American and, well, DAMN! The connection was tight. I knew it would be. I had 54 minutes and a full 30 minutes of that was occupied by security. That wasn't annoying. What was annoying was the endless chorus of spoiled Americans whining about missing their plane as if complaining about it would help. "Sacre bleu! Your ...

... 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.

He has to leave for work at 4:30 and we still haven't picked up his truck from the airport and we needed to go to Wal-Mart to get the animals settled in. I finally talked him into taking my car to work and leaving his at the airport. Well, that just didn't work. He remembered his boots and everything he needed for work the next day was in his truck. So, here we go,again. We leave the house ...
