West Coast Road Trip

Been an awesome trip so far. In brief: Kicked it in PDX with Seth for a day; went snowboarding at Mt. Hood; met up with Sarah in Corvallis and we camped at Newport on Oregon coast with Sarah; got wasted in Bend with Josiah; next to SLC & Mt. Pleasant, UT for Wasatch Academy reunion (shout-out to my high school homies!); set up a campsite in the dark and woke up surprised to find I was next to a lake; checked out Bryce Canyon, then camped at Cottonwood Canyon (best campsite ever: drove Sarah's SUV up an insane service road and found a spot a million miles from anywhere atop a huge mesa); passed through Zion on the way to Vegas and spent a day w/ my grandma; visited Death Valley (got caught in a sandstorm and saw some very rare rain); snowboarded an awesome half day at Mammoth Mountain in CA (when they started closing lifts due to the wind and low visibility we left); today we drove up through Nor Cal and OR and now I'm spending the night in Corvallis. Have covered about 3500 miles in total. Heading up to Portland tomorrow, snowboarding Hood again on Saturday, and fly back to NYC on Sunday. Pictures up soon.
