but i suppose i can try.
we started our journey @ 4PM, june 9th. We arrived at the badlands about 330AM local time, camped, then did some exploring once we woke up. the badlands may sound boring, but they are actually suprisingly cool - especially if you go off-road a bit to do some of your own exploring.
if you can get past the super sexy pose jay is droppin all up in this national park's beezy, in the distance you can see the cliff features of the badlands. in this picture (and in the video below) we are actually climbing down and through one of those fissures in the cliff face. pretty sweet eh? no one even died in the filming... way cool.
the current situation is this:
it is day 5/16. it is 740AM western time. last night, after driving through most of oregon and into northern california, we set up camp in a forest near the giant redwoods. set up a fire, grilled up some food, had a few beers and a healthy debate on whether a human could defeat a bear, and turned in for the night. i woke up around 530 and found a best western. i quickly proceeded to buje their electricity and internet and that brings me to where i am right now.
our plan for the rest of the day is to either hit up napa valley and do some wine tasting for the day or go to yosemite and camp again; i think our leaning is towards the wine tasting, though. by thursday we'll be into san fran, spend the night in the area, pick sneh up in the morning, and head south towards warmer climate. since we'll be back into civilization by that point, i will probably by then have a chance to post again. since the internet connection is weak here, i'm going to hold off on the rest of the multimedia; however, there is one last video i just couldn't wait to share... this is in yellowstone on one of the main roads. apparently the bison do whatever they want there. i wanted to ride it; jay and pat wouldn't let me. they're so lame sometimes.
until next time... in a galaxy far far away...
