Front Royal, VA

This skatepark was built a few years back, and the funding was raised by playing music shows.

Ripping the bowl.

Which way is he going?

  if you go there,

We were hasseled by a park security guy, who said we had to have helmets, and if he saw us again without one on, he would call the cops, and maybe even banned from the park.

  But, after he left, we skated until we were tired, and then left.  If you're in Front Royal, Andricks is a cool store across from the taco bell.  My friend got ear gages and the lady was super chill.  After that pizza before driving the two or so hours back to Davis.

Morgantown Skate Park

We stopped in at the Marilla Park in Sabraton, next to Morgantown.  It was wet as it had just rained, but we still got some pics.  Metal ramps are sketchy when wet!

Blackwater Falls

  So yesterday I ran the Run For It-5 k in Davis, and i think I came in the top 25.  Afterwards we went longboarding at Blackwater Falls St. Park.

5 K

  I am running a 5 k, in Davis, in 45 minutes.  Coffee and biscotti and some steamed asparagus along with stretching and spring water have me ready.  I will let you know where I placed among the hundreds of runners.  Smoking slows us down, but in anything in life, mind over matter.  hA Ha, I wont be saying that when Im wheezing on the side of the course.  Not, Im in shape, but will be only stronger after running my a$$ off.  Chill out, lo/ve one another.

Skate in Davis

    Tomorrow is the Annual Leaf Peepers Festival in Davis, W.V.  Gonna run a 5 k race in the morning, then skate around.  So long friends.  Skate on.

Work

     IN WoRk MODE; hiking in the forest afterwards.  Seeing the fall colors... 

  See to it to skate.    Being out here in the mountains makes a skater suck.  We need a skate park.  A new layer of blacktop on Douglas Rd. will be shredded.  Allow the weather to pass, and enjoy the sun when it shines!

Montana

  So I now have pictures of my adventures in Montana.  We skated in Bozeman, which was ok.  It had a bowl that opened into the rest of the park, a pyramid and a really fun little beginner section.

 

We camped on the Madison River for a week...

 

A fire started while we were in Jackson Wyoming.

Jake points out the devastating fire from his yard.
 
In Riverton Wyoming I found some skating to be done. 

 

After that we swung through Thermopolis Wyoming, where we soaked in a hot pool.  The bath house was free for a twenty minute soak.  The wind river canyon was so beautiful, along with the Tensleep Canyon in the Bighorn mountains. 

After a few days with visiting family, we drove down to Fort Collins, Colorado.

This park in Fort Collins had good art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pennsylvania

  I was home for around two days, then I drove to Pittsburgh International Airport where I picked up my friend Corey B.  We are to vend smoothies at the Mother Earth News Fair.  http://www.motherearthnews.com/fair/home.aspx

I will be serving bicycle blended smoothies to organic loving yuppies all weekend. Right on!

Where Was I?

  Well, lets see, after Ennis we cruised to West Yellowstone, and I found a cool bike shop called, Free Wheel, Free Heel. It was a bike shop/x-c shop, run  by a really nice lady Kate.  I got espresso there before we drove up into Yellowstone.  The next morning I saw beaver, fish jumping, and three moose as the sun rose, burning off the frost that lay in the valley where the river flowed under the mist.  After packing the car to the brim, we split for Jackson, driving from Montana into Idaho.  Along the western side of the Tetons we skooted, and climbed the pass over to Jackson.  Upon arriving, we met up with an old friend by the name of Fiorini, who took us hiking and fishing on  the Gros Ventre River.  The next day, along with Jake, we took a hike near Death Canyon, and jumped into a lake that was nestled in a small valley below the Tetons.  From there we could watch the smoke rising from the fire that had started just the day before.  After the hike, we went back to Jackson, where we ate dinner and watched the wildfire smoke billow up from behind the ridge that gaurds town.  In the morning the fire was still raging, but we had to take off, leaving behind the blaze, only to see about three other wildfires across the state.  Today we are at my gerandmas, where we dug post holes and set fence posts, and now relaxing before steaks.  Yum
