Nice pics easty, be careful driving in Colorado, roads are very icy and slick. That would be a nice road trip on a SUV not too sure about the tiny SLK. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Beautiful Pix Brian. That Triangle is very interesting. To me, it is a good sign. Be safe.

Depends how you see it but with the point up, it's a male thing and point down, female... That's why you can find in India the star of David used a bit like a Ying Yang symbol

Looks like a nice adventure :-) Be careful on those mountain roads...

Yeah, I wasn't meant to be seeing snow.

they are bloody aweful, don't try it our your self. I had a few moments.

Just thought you might like to have a drink with 2 friendly Irish girls while passing through San Fran. My cousins Nolette and Tina live there and would love to have a drink w/ you!!! and point you in the right direction for sights and hotels. I'll call them when I get home Monday
Claire

Sounds cool, I may not be there for a couple of weeks though.. I love Frisco!

More images..

Meas verdi national park.. the next morning. I bailed out of going into the park. ;( got there and the park ranger said they had not done the roads and chances are I wouldn't make the 20 mile round trip through the park so I thought I'd get a couple of shots outside then head south-ish.

Your photos are giving me a part of your life. Thank you. Please, send more.

*easty* · 02-26-2007

20 miles south the altitude dropped a 1000ft or so and the ice/snow vanished completely. A right turn into South Utah and it was like I was in a completely different season. With only the snow capped mountains in the distance to remind me where I was that morning.

I stopped at an indian reserve and camped. $5 a night and it was simply without a doubt the best view I have ever seen in my life. It was cold and the campsite was dead. I got a fire going and got into the spirit of the place.

I'll never forget the time at this place, I set my clock for 5:30 and made a brew as I didn't know what time sunrise was, It was about 7:00

bloody amazing. I didn't take a picture, just sat in my sleeping bag and watched.

FPF422 · 02-26-2007

it's beautiful.... I fully understand that you preferred to sit and take it all in instead of taking pics

**-1-** · 02-26-2007

WOW, neat trip. Great planning, hitting the best spots. Beautiful pictures and information. Thanks for sharing with us. Stay safe!

*easty* · 02-26-2007

Will do guys thanks loads. Route 66 into jushua tree next. I'll PM a couple of you SO cal guys about a meet. Saturday may be good, I think I have a place to stay in Santa barbara so I can drive to whereever from there. or is south of LA better a little earlier?

*easty* · 02-26-2007

Hey A small Quizz. I'm going to visit a small town called Amboy, Anyone know what film was based on this town? Hint "KA-Chow!!"

I have a wedding (can't miss as I'm also one of the sponsors) this Sat. Sunday is good for me. V8SLK, TSlick, Cyberdrakon, heeyoo2o, and others: let's try to meet up with Brian. Tslick where's a good place to meet between Santa Barbara and Orange County? Let's decide on a day and time.

DansSlk · 02-26-2007

Bloody hell Brain i gotta hand it to ya mate the are as always when your involved some seriously good pics especially that one looking out over the dash.

cyberdrakon · 02-26-2007

i was going to go snowboarding on sunday, but i'm 90% sure i can change the date to saturday. I'll keep in touch with you guys!

V8SLK · 02-26-2007

here's a thought (i'm allowed one per year). being a biker type, i think easty would enjoy a trip to the rock store. it's a scenic drive through malibu canyon and depending on the weather, there are typically hundred of bikes and periodically some celebs that make it there on sundays...

http://www.rock-store.com/

i'm certain we could find a meet spot and caravan in.
