Here we go again. It was Feb. 13th 2012 the night before Valentines Day around 7pm. Jack and I were traveling US 50 on our way back to South Lake Tahoe, CA from Carson City, NV. We were traveling on between the Logan Shoals scenic pull-over and Cave Rock. I noticed a flickering light in the sky to the west. It was flickering and changing colors and

The slopes at Sierra have been really good lately sadly it seemed that with an early Easter last weekend, and a mere 276" of snow to date the resorts were all but over it. So with the ski season quickly coming to an end this weekend it was a shocker when Sierra at Tahoe extended the closing date to the 23rd of April!With a big winter storm looming o

March 28, 2012 Sierra at Tahoe Powder Day Although this ski season got off to a rather disappointing start this year, the latter part of the season ushered in more winter storms and excellent powder riding. Check out this video clip of on a recent Tahoe powder day.

Can I be anymore polite? This is ridiculous, we've had like no snow this winter. It's has been the worst year for snow ever in Tahoe. We got a good storm back in October and we all got excited, but we have not had anything significant since then. Needless to say the lack of snow has been really hard on the entire Tahoe Basin. The Tahoe ski resorts h

GiftsI'd like to wish a Happy Holiday to all my friends. We are once again in Tahoe for the winter and waiting for more snow to fall and cover us all. Heavenly is open with limited terrain and I can hardly wait for Kirkwood and Sierra at Tahoe to open so we can get up there and start shooting photos, I love it up there. Hope we get up on the mountai

We had gotten everything out of our friends houses and storage into our house and pretty much gotten everything out of our storage to move into the place when we realized that Phish in Denver was only a couple days away. So we spent all day getting the van ready with all of our vending supplies and cleaning out all the moving stuff. I grabbed all th

It was quite an amazing time at the Gorge. Phish started their second leg of tour up in George, Washington at the Gorge. We stopped in Tahoe before making our way up so that we could unload all of the extra stuff that we would not need for the weekend to make room for stock.We left 2 days before the Gorge shows to drive up from Tahoe. It was about a

We rode with our friends out of Reno on a trip towards the Gorge WA. We tried to get out during the day but ended up eating together at about dinner time. We grabbed some In and Out before heading out on 395 N.Oregon is a weird state. They have lots of strange laws that I really don't understand. Why is 55 mph the speed limit on the Highways when mo

We are packed and organized and ready. It took all day but we are more prepared coming into the Gorge than we usually are. We unloaded a bunch of the large in-matrix heavy rocks for the weekend to make room for beverages and supplies to sell.We had to cash some checks and get the mail when we got to town. It's really nice to have a home base tha

We had a fun time at the Collegiate Peaks Music festival in Colorado with our friends from Alma. We partied hard to Kyle Hollingsworth from String Cheese Incident and Keller Williams.After the shows, we parked over at a nearby rose quartz mine that we knew of to camp for the night. So when we woke up, it was crystal mining time. I have been to the r

We drove all the way from New York out to Colorado. We were relaxing on the day after the Canandaigua, NY Furthur show and we realized that Kyle Hollingsworth and Keller Williams were playing at a festival in Buena Vista over the weekend. Our next major destination was Phish at the Gorge WA and we have friends in Alma CO, so we hopped in the van and

Trip Log 8034mi.We are on our way west. We are in NY right now driving on I-86 and our next stop is Colorado for a small festival on the way before heading up to the Gorge for Phish coming up on the 5th and 6th of August. They are playing in our home town of South Lake Tahoe CA on the 9th and 10th so I am really excited to show the local kids a li

Well, we made it to Furthur at Bethel Woods and that was a lot of fun. Definitely a much better attitude related to rocks with the Furthur kids than there was on Phish lot. They let us in nice and early for the lot scene at Bethel. It was funny watching everybody circling around the staff trying to figure out where to park. It was the shakedown shuf

We had a lot of fun at the Phish festival. Afterwards we headed back to Herkimer to dig some more diamonds. We also got to visit with our friends from Little Falls before getting back on the road. We almost left to go towards All Good but it would have cost a bundle so we are catching Bethel Woods the 2nd stop on Furthur and we will catch all the N

Phish Superball IX was Phish's ninth festival and it was the social event of the season for Jack and I. Unlike most music festivals, with several stages featuring more music than you can ever see performed, there was a casual, relaxed vibe that prevailed throughout the weekend in Watkins Glen, NY. Phish was the only act on the playbill this 4th

The question, How to Save The USA?If you read the blog regularly you know I try to stick to blogging about our excellent travel adventures. I don't really comment on political issues, but I'm afraid things have gone noticeably awry in The United States of America, something is wrong, terribly wrong. So I got to thinking about what's wrong and about

We had about a week in between Phish tour and their festival so we decided to go up to Herkimer to dig for some crystals. It's really cool mining for your own rocks. I was breaking boulders and pulling out nice crystals. If you pick the right rock that starts producing, you can get a handful of nice Herkimers pretty quickly. It's all about finding t

It's Friday today and a little less than a week from Phish's big festival Superball. It's their 9th festival and we are definitely going. But we have a little time so we are going up to the Ace of Diamonds Mine in Herkimer county NY. It's right in Middleville a little over 2 hours away from Watkins Glen where the festival will be. We are gonna mine

Just passed into Pennsylvania headed North after visiting my brother Paul and his wife Bia. I had a great time visiting. We had a nice dinner at Outback Steakhouse the night we got to Morgantown. The steak was great, but they got our orders mixed up and didn't have my side dish. It all worked out, we got a meal free and an extra steak to take home.

We had a fun day driving through the national park. The weather ended up nicer than we expected. There are a whole bunch of nice pull offs and hiking trails in the Shenandoah National Park. We stopped a bunch of times for pictures. Here are some of them. I convinced Flowski to let me drive for a while. It was fun on the windy curvy roads. It's unusu

We spent the night last night in Waynesboro, VA at the Best Western. It was definitely the best hotel we have stayed at this summer. King size bed, comfy chairs and pillows, and a full hot breakfast downstairs. It was only about $20 more than we usually pay and it was well worth it. Today is the first day of summer and we lucked out. The national pa

We wrapped up a fun tour leg with a stop in Portsmouth, VA yesterday for Phish at the NTELOS Wireless Pavilion. It was only the 2nd or 3rd stop that let us in nice and early. We pulled in at about 1:30 and people were already setting up Easy Ups and claiming their spots. It's always good when they ask if you are vending and tell you where to go. We

We just passed into SC. I looked up at the clock and realized it's about 4:27 and we are just passing 4429 miles. Awesome timing for a blog post. We had 2 fun nights in Alpharetta GA. The rain was super crazy the second night. Phish had to stop mid-song because of the strong lightning really close and intense wind. It rained the whole second set. We

What an amazing weekend that I had at Bonnaroo. I got my serving of String Cheese that I was craving and caught Eminem's return show. It's his first since 2005 and it was sick! I had a really good time. It would have been even better if I hadn't been worrying about my iPhone all weekend. We are driving down to my parents house to visit for the one d
