To Go West...

...is my next goal.  I have been to Colorado once, now I want to visit the rest of the Western States.

It's amazing to me that there are places on Earth that look like this:

Antelope and Deer Valley:

I will have to go see this place soon and be able to publish my owns pics from there, and since its close to the Grand Canyon, I'll have to make it a multi-park trip.

Grand Canyon:

Just Drive

I would love to take off and just drive like this one day.

End of Summer 2008

Since its nearing the end of Summer and I am going mountain climbing in CO this week to try my hand at climbing a 14'er or two, I will bid farewell to a great summer drink that I just discovered.

Dark and Stormy is one of the best drinks for Summer.

We will meet again.
While Im on the topic, Esquire's Drink Database, http://www.esquire.com/drinks/ , is a great resource. Not only does it have the recipe but the 'resident drink historian' gives a quick backstory about where it came from.
Now hopefully I can find some good CO microbrews out in Denver to drink on top of a mountain this week!
