June in February
Here are a few pictures from my sleepy trip to the mountains of June Lake/Mammoth. I think I slept through 70% of the trip.
Sled dogs were out getting ready for the Iditarod.
Myspaaaaaaaaaace.
Snow skating.
If I taught a Road Trip Essentials Class, Cheez-It would probably be in the class syllabus.
Here are a few this times (Feb '09) and last times (July '08)...
This time.
Last time.
This time.
Last time.
This time
Last time.
This time.
Last time- which was probably the most American 4th of July I'd ever had in my entire life. Compared to mine, yours would have been classified as terrorist activity.
Best murder weapon ever- a Hattori Hanzo Icicle Sword, which melts along with your fingerprints.
One in this group is useless. I'll let you decide as to who.
Do you ever wake up and forget where you are? I did, and when I saw this I think I almost had a heart attack.
Best bag ever. I think I could pack three months full of clothes in here. Thanks Keegan!
The day we left, we joked that the roads would be closed and we'd get snowed in. Those smiles turned upside down when we looked outside.
If you're not familiar with these, make sure you do before you travel anywhere near snow. These can be the difference from this and this.
Yeah, that's the height of the snow in the road. SNOWN3D.
June Lake Jake making some calls to the plow guys.
Aside from this sight...
...this is probably the last thing you want to see when you're leaving from vacation.
Actually, this is probably the last thing you'd want to see...
...which eerily reminded me of this fellow.
Let's just say I wasn't saying, "Oh Ridge" driving through the pass.
Is it too late to change my mind? This is the last thing I'd want to see trying to get home.
You know what? Who am I kidding? This is DEFINITELY the last thing I'd want to see on get-away-day. Why? because it only means one thing. Click here, to find out.
It finally stopped snowing for awhile, but then I noticed that that giant gray mass wasn't a smudge on the windshield, but rather something that looked like it came from a 1996 movie.
The Mr. Stay Puft cloud proceeded to dump even more snow on an otherwise already icy road.
But after 20 minutes or so, it was back to this again. This was a couple minutes after the last picture was taken. Are those blue skies ahead?
Yep.

What Happens When You Mix...
-a visual scene where Mary Poppins meets the Pink Ladies from Grease.

-the clown from the ice cream cones.
-a levitating nun.
-a roller skater with no balance.
-a cardboard zoo.
-two men in lederhosen playing pattycake.
-the classic Mentos scene where someone (in this case two people) sits on a bench with fresh wet paint.
-a magician with chattering teeth.
-a ventriloquist.
-a sign painter.
-a man scarfing down a giant bowl of spaghetti.
-a power socket in the bowl of spaghetti.

All i'm sayin', it takes a lot to love you.
June Lake review later today, possibly tomorrow.

You Probably Have A Better Shot Of Being Struck By Lightning
So I'm at the kings game about 12 rows up. Puck flew off the ice and hits tom in neck and lands in his hood.. So freaking nuts.
That's Bry's little nephew Dylan there, holding up the prize that probably still has a piece of his Dads neck.
I mean really, what are the odds?
On another note, just returned from the blizzard that was Mammoth. I'll get a recap out to you shortly.
Until then, GAME ON!

Cut from the original 30 minute long conversation.
Almost makes you want to change in pajamas, cuddle in a blanket, and roast some s'mores by a fire.
Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day! The Bear Den loves you this much!
