The feeling of warmth, sun beating down, a warm breeze ripping by, is so relaxing. The road has been my home lately and the transition between winter and summer has been smooth. there is something awesome about hanging on the West coast, good vibes, good people, and good times. Winter was fairly wrapped up with the Targhee session, but when I returned to salt lake a large snow pack allowed for some late season recreation. Chris Collins called me up excited about his recent snowmobile adventures, with plans to do it again as soon as I arrived. Naturally I was pumped to get on the sled, and riding in the spring is great because you can access terrain that’s normally untouchable in winter. The weather is so nice that a hoodie is all that’s needed for warmth, and the snow is slushy, soft and grippy.
After a few days of riding with Chris I headed down to So-Cal to hang with some friends and check out a really sweet music festival called Lightning In A Bottle. It was a three day festival outside of Santa Barbra. I had assumed that California was going to be warm, so when rain clouds socked in the area I was not very well prepared. After a retreat to town, with breakfast, a movie and a shopping session we returned to the party and the weather improved.
So-Cal was great I hung out with my friend Pete at his house in Huntington Beach for a few days after the event and finally the feeling of summer really set in. Chilling on the beach was so nice, people watching was hilarious, and the only thing on our egenda was to hang out and eat. I rolled out, back to SLC for a few days before heading back to California again, this time to San Fransisco. SF was fun, I met up with the TGR crew and went to the premier of their surf movie called “Out There”. Hung for extra day in the city and now I am enjoying central Oregon hanging with friends, riding bikes, playing disc golf, and generally chilling out. -things aren’t so bad.
