Zoology
So we woke up from a glorious night of slumber in the van and head into Mike’s house to be greeted by the irresistible sent of breakfast on the stove. Chef Mike whipped up some pancakes, breakfast potatoes, and soy chorizo.. DEE-LISH! After we scarfed that down, we said goodbye to Mike, his lovely home, [...]
I Got 99 Plannings and Today Aint One
Hit Me! We took showers. Aimee made us a delicious breakfast of pumpkin pancakes(from scratch), bannas, brown sugar, eggs, and toast. She’s spoiled us. We meet up with Mike and C-Liu and set off on an adventure planned by mike while he was at work the previous night. He wrote it all down in a [...]
“Whoa, lookat that tree!”
Ok, so Saturday morning we woke up in the van outside of Mike’s crib and I blogged the morning away. By the time I was done and everyone was done showering Jillian, Mike and his hip lady friend Christina, and I hit the city for a quick touristy walk. We went into Hilcrest and walked [...]
Pop Culture Friday
We survived the night at slab city. Today we will end up in San Diego. At Salton sea we are pretty far south and kinda close to the SD but i’,m not driving that way because the drive is along the boarder and I’m not i the mood to be stopped and searched at every [...]
An Unconventional T-Day
-Today wasn’t like any holiday i’ve ever experienced. We hiked in the desert among yucca brevifolia, drove to an accidental sea, a forgotten ex resort wasteland, ate fast-food tacos for thanksgiving dinner, saw a mountain covered in 100,000 galloons of paint in Gods honor, and slept amongst other nomads in a the last free place [...]
More Vino, Please!
So a few weeks ago, Uncle Jim called me up and said something along the lines of, “I don’t know where you’ll be around Thanksgiving, but I’ll be in Phoenix with Mari and the girls.” I NEVER have any idea where I’ll be at any given time, so I reference my life navigator and he [...]
McMahons Overboard
After spending all day yesterday laying around Harirot and Larry’s house watching football and eating Harriot’s famous “3 year” chili (She only makes it for special occasions every couple years), early this morning Harriot was kicking us out. She wanted us out of the house before 10. We were allowed to come back after 4 [...]
Good Bye Red Rocks. Hello Saguaro Sunset

Antelope Valley Slot Canyon Adventuring
Having stayed up with Jillian, Ricky and Liam the night before giggling like maniacs attempting to play Monopoly on the iPad and understand Inception, all while making our neighboring cabin dwellers hate us. I found it hard to fall asleep, as I was both excited for and concerned about the 2nd day of our adventure. [...]
In This Adventure… Slight Miscalculations OR The King of Poop.
As we got off the plane in Phoenix I realized I forgot my jacket under the seat in front of me. The steward, fearing my salmon like approach to its retrieval would cause certain mayhem with the other exiting passengers, went back and got it for me, with my new black winter coat back in [...]
