USA Roatrip

After my long time away, I had to get back to the states, to get my taxes and school in order. I stopped at my Great Uncle Walter's house, and we ended up having an easter egg hunt at my 2nd cousin Heidi's house.

Anthony, another 2nd cousin, took me to the A's game with him. It was a great game, where the A's won in the last inning, with a grand slam home run.

When I got back to Arizona, adventures began almost immediately, as I was persuaded to go on a fishing trip up to northern Arizona, Showlow area, and since it was getting late we got a motel and I showed Andy how to play a bit of pool.

We did a bit of fishing the following day, and it was quite windy. I ended up going for a bike ride, apparently during the only time the fish were biting.

Andy ended up showing me how to fish, it seems, as I caught none. We had a good time, fishing late at night, having a few drinks, cooking all our meals on the fire, etc...

The mountain biking was great. I ended up seeing what I think was a wolf, and I also got lost. I ended up making it back ok in the end, as always.

Once back in Arizona, Andy, Mike Adragna, Travis, and some others went to a comedy club. After midnight, it was my birthday, so we stayed out quite late and acted like young people do on a birthday night. In the end, Mike and I got off to a late start the next day.

Mike has actually been invited to do the text on this portion of our roadtrip, as a guest writer. Enjoy!






On the way up to Ft. Collins, I stopped with Alison, to do some horse riding.













After Chicago, I was able to see my mom at a party, and then headed out to Madison where I met my old friend Ethan at Mickeys for some lunch and good conversation.

Heidi joined me in Minneapolis, and she is going to do a bit more writing here as well. Enjoy!
