After a long and unnecessary hiatus, I’m back at it. I will post in the missing pieces a bit later, but for now I want to get back to moving forward. I finally left South Lake Tahoe, two weeks late, yesterday. It was surely a bittersweet departure. Great friends, beautiful views, albeit a lousy snow [...]
Snowbird, UT March 20, 2013
Apparently youtube won’t let you use Smashing Pumpkins as a background song. Friggin Copyrights! I had other Photos, but lost my phone over the weekend at Brighton.
Jackson Wilderness 3/19/2013
Wyoming touts itself as being the Wild West. It is surely in the middle of nowhere, has the second lowest population density among the States. Wyoming is a great opportunity to just get away from it all. I met folks from Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts , and Wisconsin….all just getting away. While Jackson Hole was a good time, [...]
Grand Targhee, WY 3/17/2013
All I can really say is “What a day!” Finally got snow, which transitioned to beautiful sun-kissed views, and topped it all off with a night in the town of Jackson, WY. Not a bad St. Patrick’s Day. Weather impacted the drive to Targhee, so we arrived a little later than expected. However, it [...]
I’m goin to Jackson. 3/16/13
Came to Jackson for another St. Pats weekend. Seven of us booked a 3bedroom condo through the Grand View Lodge in Jackson. Irony is seen out our grand view window. Not quite grand. It was a sunny day with warm temps and limited crowds. There was little reason to get out on the hill early, [...]
Sundance, UT: An Understatement.
Friends of my hosts came to visit so I took one of them to Sundance to check out the mountain. Well, the weather is a repeat of last year and I now remember why I made the drive to Moab during this strech last year. We danced with the sun all day at Sundance. Sundance [...]
Canyonlands 3/10
So, from Thursday eve to Saturday eve we’ve logged-in 10 hours of driving, visited 4 different spots, and have another destination and 5 hours of driving ahead of us. Sunday was a sleep-in day in Moab and the views from our lodging were pretty relaxing. There are two things to know about Canyonlands. 1. It [...]
Colorado to Utah 3/9
Sometimes traveling can be exhausting, especially with me! Plans were to spend two days in Moab hiking Arches and Canyonlands. However, with the impending weather, sometimes plans change. I was able to convince her that, since it was raining in Moab, we should go to Powderhorn. After a little discussion, Powderhorn was the call. They [...]
Saying goodbye to Colorado: 3/7 & 3/8
Time is winding down for my Colorado Experience. Wednesday the 6th was a bright, sun-shiny day. I had plans to take kitesurfing lessons, but they were postponed to Thursday. So, I decided to complete my second class, rather than go out to the mountain. Thursday, however, was a good day spent kite surfing on Lake [...]
ASPEN 3/3-3/5
I was in Aspen once before in March of 2012, actually Snowmass, but whatever. Last year, a 4-6 inch snowfall was a big deal and Aspen had been doing better than forecasts. I grabbed a room, settled-in for a 4-6 inch snowfall and went to sleep super early. Hearing the ruckus over at Zane’s Tavern, I fought my intrigue because [...]
