To travel or not to travel?

April 27th, 2011

Well, Easter was entertaining.  Lots to tell of travels before this weekend past but to update on recent travels.  Drove to Bozeman to spend Easter with ma and dad.  On the way home, Sunday, I might mention that nothing is open on Sunday let alone Easter.  My water pump and thermostat blew.  Got to spend the night in Billings and what an adventure.  The shop was great that fixed my truck and the dogs were patient and well behaved while I shoved them into strange vehicles and made them sleep on floors I wouldn't walk around bare foot in.  They are great travel companions.  But Bozeman was fun, went to museum and ate out a lot.  Hadn't seen them in a while so it was a nice visit.

Stagecoach, Indio, CA. April 2010

Party, Party, Party.  Did I mention this concert was one big party.  Arriving Friday with the toy hauler we camped at Indio and enjoyed a never ending concert all weekend long.  The weather was perfect and the people were amazing.  This was fun, fun, fun.

A sea of fifth wheels and toy haulers, everyone was here to have a good time. 



The concert arena, you could say was a sea of people.  Sugarland, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert to name a few.  The vibe was nothing but a good time.

Roatan, Honduras Diving

Roatoan, Honduras, a little island off the coast of Honduras and in the Carribean.  The weather was great and the water stayed around 80 degrees.  We stayed at Anthony's Key a great resort with dolphins.  Our swim with the dolphins was awesome, I would recomend it to anyone.  We zip-lined the jungle, partied with the locals at the local bars and dove lots.


The dolphin enclosure at Anthony's Key Resort.


Wreck dive at 80 feet.  We met a super friendly eel that lived here, when we arrived he came out to greet us.







Cedar City, Utah. Snowmobiling March 2010

This was actually the trip that I severely wrecked my sled and scareded my nephew to death.  He was riding with me when an open creek in a meadow of really deep snow appeared.  Pictures as follows.  Overall the trip was great, kinda cold but the snow was awesome.  Fun times had by all!






My perfect snow angel was marred by an unmentionable family member walking across my head. 



We could say really stuck and it isn't me!

Family adventures are the best out there.

This was the creek that appeared in my path, my sled is pulled out of the bank it was imbedded in when I landed.




Towgotee Pass, Wyoming Snowmobiling

For some reason I have no photos downloaded in my computer from this trip but it was great.  The snow was spectacular and we had the place all to ourselves.  Stayed at the lodge at the top of the pass and played around all over the mountain.  The lodge was fun, great food and ample drinks.  The weather was kinda overcast but it didn't hide the fun places to ride.  February was this trip, too bad there was only one more riding trip this year.

Saratoga Snowmobiling, Jan. 2010

Saratoge, Wyoming.  A breathtaking place and great snow!  You could ride forever and never ride the same spot twice!

This isn't me I swear, my sled actually made it home without any damage this trip!

Break time, the sky looks picturesque and the snow unmarked.

There were some pretty good hills to climb, fun bowls to ride in.
Overall a great trip, fun people and lots of laughs.
