Latest Bj N Nick adventure

first off here is a random conversation in the middle of a nice work day


Me: lets go quading
Bj: jes
Me: ahora
Bj: come running with me

i dunno what i was thinking. i drive down to his house expecting a nice little jog later in the day.
but instead he had a super sweet idea to go running at 1 in the afternoon with high temps of 110. but not just a little jog. a 9 mile run to freaking jeremys house! me and my brains decided to fill my camelback just in case. 3 miles in we decide to stop running because bjs shoes are melting to the road. 1st sign to turn around. we walk to a dirt road that cuts through fields of nothing but sand. 2nd sign. we litteraly walk for 2 hours in the middle of no where spotting a fried snake in the middle of the road on the way. we dunk our heads in some irrigation canals a couple times as we talk about how stupid this idea was. about 7 miles in i think we are starting to see things, because bj starts waving to a scarecrow thinking its a real man. that was pretty freaking funny. we finally get out of the dirt fields just in time for us to run out of water. we are 2 guys
in nothing but shorts and shoes walking 9 miles in the blazing hot sun. i have my shirt over my face and bj is roasting. we arive to jeremys 3 hours later red as cherries and tired. overall. epic fail. im choosing the next trek bj!

this was our view for a good 2 hours of our journey.



Oceanside and Slip N Slide

Here are some pics of Oceanside. that place is bomb, our weekend schedule was.. wake up, sand volleyball, hot tub, ocean, lunch, nap, repeat for 3 days. it was pretty awesome.





this is no doubt worthy of a post as well.. we went out and bought a 100 foot long 10 feet wide tarp and we scouted all weekend for a prime hill to fly down. it was a success. with some baby shampoo a lot of water and a huge hill we were flying down this thing making it way past the 100 foot mark. jealous?


Hike Up Picacho

Ive decided to make one of these things again to share all of my adventures.. there arent too many. but some of them might be worth putting on this thing. this post might be a little long since im trying to catch up. so suck it up and look at it! a couple weeks ago some friends and i woke up at 3am to drive out to picacho peak and do a sunrise hike, if you havent done it, i recommend it. we were at the top by 6 and the weather was perfect. besides stumbling on a giant spider and a rattle snake on the trail, it was pretty awesome. its about 50 miles outside Tucson, you are litteraly in the middle of no where which makes it 10 times better. I didnt know i was capable of getting up early, but looks like i can. i got chosen to drive, so everyone else had a nice little nap on the drive there.
