the last post from the road....



This is it, in a few hours we will be home.  These last 18 days has been an incredible adventure.  We have reconnected with old friends, played at some of the greatest places on earth, and created memories that will last a life time.

So the last time I posted we were packing up and getting ready to leave Bishop. On our way out of town we went to the Buttermilks to introduce Tommy to world class bouldering. He liked it and has vowed to come back when he is a better climber.

Then we were off to Death Valley. We opted to stay in panamint springs (elevation 1200 ft). The temp was 107F when we setup our tents, and cooled to 85F by the time we got up at dawn. We wouldn't change a thing.

While in the park we visited the dunes in the evening (115F) and the rest the next day. The park is an place! In a period of 48 hours we were at 11,000 ft and -282. Pretty darn cool. From Death Valley we headed to LV by driving north and by the nevada test site.

Our last night was on the strip, kids weren't that impressed. I guess natural wonders beat man made wonders.

They have just moved our gate, again, gotta go...
