Colorado Bike Rally
0 comments Tuesday, October 23, 2007

So they only missed Bike Week by a couple of months but Devon and Becky were in the full spirit of things when they came by for a visit last week. Fully decked out in leather and chromed Harleys I met them in NH for a tour de force of my homeland. Starting with a trip on the boat out on squam lake for a taste of New England lake life and some foliage views. Then they got to see the ivy league high school that is holderness, seeing both their jaws drop as we walked the pathways past the library and the new turf field was fantastically hilarious. Then I took them to see Crispyhouse in all its glory. To finally be able to show Devon, whose house I was at when the fire happened, was a great moment for me to connect my life in the west with my world in the east. Hopefully now he better understands some of my stories and quirks. 

Finally we took a long leaf filled drive through the White Mountains to Montpelier VT where we met up with dad and they all got to laugh as they watched me work the pizza restaurant. Although they did get a final taste of New England flavor as Red Sox nation was out in force later helping the Red Sox win game 5 of the ALCS, making our Guiness taste all that much better. Now everyone can blame Devon and Becky when I make the rash decision to buy a motorcycle and spend my time cruising this country on two wheels. I mean I have been in one place for over a month now, its definately time for a new outlandish adventure.

This past spring before heading off to New Zealand I embarked on a solo tour of the southwest. From San Diego, CA to Summit County, CO. I camped every night under the stars and became an expert campfire cook. I visited all the national parks I could find along the way and even explored some parts of this country that still very few people go to. It was an incredible experience to see this part of the country by hiking around in it and gaining an incredible respect for the desert and its ecosystems. Also it was purely gorgeous and everyday was a new jaw dropping sight. Enjoy the photos.

Starting to get more advanced with this blog thing as I have added a brand spankin new feature to the site. Now there are more photos than ever!! I know aren't you as excited as I am to escape the photographic doldrums of the single photo I use to encapsulate every post? I know I am so new for this fall I have added links to picasa web albums. Just click the link beneath the post photo and it will take you to the gallery of photos, you can even view a slideshow. Sweet huh? I'll work on updating old posts and everyone know as I go, but for now enjoy the barrage of pictures!

Crispyhouse Cleanup Weekend
0 comments

So the boys all got together this wkd to help clean up Groton. We made great progress with covering the foundation and shoveling out the basement, not to mention sorting bricks and hauling scrapwood. the biggest discussions of course came out of Trees which to leave and which to cut, this one didn't make it. Clearing land across the street and reclaiming the old lawn is a project in itself but on a whole Groton is making a huge turn as the place no longer looks like the remains of a tragedy but rather the germination of a new project. Good stuff guys, next time i'll bring my lawn chair so I can better direct our own personal bulldozer, Evan.
