Lakeside At Snowpark (Dvl) Park City

So ha. Some of you have chided us for the dangers of picking up strangers, yet now it is us who may teach you a lesson. Nathan, the friendly stranger, needed a ride to Joe's Valley to go meet some climbing friends of his who knew a bit more about the area. Well, when Saturday morning comes around, Nathan and his friends show up at our campsite with their jeep and invite us along to a place called New Joe's ...

We were went out for our Camfel tour on Monday. We have 2 1/2 days to make it to Illinoise for our first show. Here goes road tripping across the country!<br><br>We have loved it. The first night we stayed in Manti, Utah. Expedia found a shady motel way too far off the route. They were closed when we arrived, but on the office door was ...

... prettier and nicer than the other ones. Comfort seating, clear windows, space for your feet (at least for half of the time), and more. My mom had to say something funny before we got in. For instance, instead of saying if we can ALL sit together since we have four people, she said, "Can the 4 of us FIT in ONE SEAT?" OMG HAHAH! I cracked up in my head because it was too funny! You gotta make sense in the english world. <br><br>The tour guide, David Lam (I think ...

... was spectacular. We watched a great movie about American skeleton racer Jimmy Shea. And do you remember any of these characters from the opening ceremonies? Overall we were both totally impressed with what there was to see and do here, and we said the $7 we spent for the ...

... is in our face, about 30mph plus that really took the starch out of our legs right off the get go. A very demanding day where we had inches to ride on or in the heavy truck traffic or off the side for a long tumble. At mile 40 we start the steeper climb to Soldier Summit 7,447' around 6 miles and it starts raining. When we get to the top we are soaked and cold now ...

So i went and rode ATV's in the sand dunes of Utah, a place called little sahara, about an hour and a half from salt lake or so, professionals go here, and this was my first time going to go ride in sand... it was crazy!! had a blast though, and i did well for my first time, at least i think so... I edited and made a cool movie out of the video's i took, so enjoy the videos and photos!

OK, it's hard to believe, but today has been the most amazing day so far. We booked a tour thru the Antelope Canyon. It's a small narrow canyon that has been eroded with water over the last few million years. The walls are any where from 5 to 20 feet wide, and about 300 feet high. We get taken out to the canyon in an open backed truck, with a wild Navajo driver. The we walk thru the slot in the rock and it ...

... before later than I experienced, but I wrote as much as I could remember and used my journals and photos to recall as much as possible.<br><br>Three main reasons I created this blog: <br><br>1. My family hasn't been able to see many of my photos and I don't think I've done the best job of explaining everything that I've done in my travels. It's hard to write a bunch of different people and expensive to talk on the phone abroad. I ...

... school in NY early Thanksgiving morning and made our way to Kentucky, our first stop of the trip. It is about a 17 hour drive, and the worst part is that it rained for 15 of those hours. Ask for Thanksgiving dinner, let just say I will never eat at Cracker Barrel again. We made it to Paducah about 3:30am that night, morning what ever you would call it. Stayed the night and left for Manhattan Kansas the next morning. We stopped in St. Louis on the way to see Amy my sister ...

... trailer parks. Today was a day filled with more hiking, more beautiful scenic vistas, and more fun. We began the day at Dead Horse Point State Park. It earned its name when a herd of horses died there after they were left by their ranchers without access to food or water. It was not a large park, but the view was spectacular. I had my tripod with us so we could both be in the picture, but the winds were still too strong. We left Dead Horse Point State Park and headed into ...
