    Another incredibly fun time. Lots of awesome music but the one that took it to the next level for me was Envelope 3. Beautiful & Amazing! The flaming phoenix was the best non-musical highlight. :) Thanks again Rick for the awesome time ...and the spare helmut. Thank you Mark Wilson for another ass-slappin' time. Thank you Mr. Tonin for talking me into stretching my weekend. Thank you Ike for sparing my lazy ass from trying to set up my tent with my twisted eyeballs at 4am. :)

    Happy bday

    On an unrelated note, I love mousepads avatar. It's totally the live action version of the opening cartoon to The Grateful Dead Movie.

    :) Thanks! I took that pic while riding in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. I love the area because the scenery makes me feel like I'm riding through the Roadrunner Cartoon. :)

    p.s Happy birthday again Basher!

  18. Places to See on the American West Coast

    The awesome thing that I found out about camping in the States is that it’s FREE to camp anywhere in any of their National Forests. The bonus is that there’s never any 50’ RVs running it’s generator keeping you awake all night.

    Really? That's great to know. How does it work? Are there sites or do you simply find a spot to set up camp?

    As long as you camp 50'(i think) off of the road and, of course, remember the campsite rule, it's all free. I often stopped into the National Forest Offices and asked for recommendations for the most beautful and the quietest sites. They were always really helpful and friendly. It's soooo much better than paying lots of money to be packed into treeless sites of private campgrounds. I also found that instead of paying big $ for a site in a National Park, I could find a much more beautiful free site at a nearby National Forest.

    I did a 3 month motorcycle camping tour of the Southwest & West Coast US. The California highlights for me were sleeping under a blanket of stars (no tent) in the Alabama Hills on the east side of the Sierra Nevadas and waking up to Mt Whitney (the highest peak in the contiguous US) glowing in the morning sun. Meditating under the giant 2000 year old red woods of the Sequoia National Park, beautiful scenery of Lassen Volcanic National Park, and riding the twisty roads throughout the Sierra Nevada mountains especially near Yosemite National Park.

    The highway that runs along the northern shore of the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington had spectacular views and I never knew so much of the eastern half of Washington was so desert like.

    I really liked the mountains in Idaho although the camping and mornings on the bike at that altitude were pretty cold. It certainly wasn't the flat potato-filled boring state I was imagining. The area around the Montana/Wyoming boarder near Yellowstone National Park was incredibly beautiful and I hope to return there to do some more wandering on my way to my annual desert tour of southern Utah. Gotta love that Roadrunner cartoon scenery!

  20. DSO Forums Nelson Ledges Quarry Park Bust

    After reading through the Guestbook on the Nelson Ledge's web site, this news doesn't really bother me. My sense is that they are being reasonable in trying to keep the sketch-factor as low as possible, which is fine by me.

    Peace, Mark

    So...we're still doing up our birthdays together again at Gratefulfest, right? Right? It's way too good a feel-good place to pass up just because they're thinning out the sketchies.

    Thanks Kev for posting the message from Evan. It made me much less bummed about the whole thing. :)
