At last a chance to sit down and catch up. Baja or Bust Adventure
With the goal of offering a adventure camping trip in Baja, we took off across country. We soon found out we had too many goals cluttering our minds, it looks as if the baja trip will be purely adventure and researching. We scrapped bringing the E350 for the Mercedes. and only took one kayak, which we hope to leave in baja.
After collecting and filtering enough vegetable oil from Sonny’s and Digger’s Restaurants to get to Nebraska. We found ourselves with a plugged fuel filter after 1000 miles, it was night, we couldn’t find the headlamp, so Abbie used the ipod to illuminate the greasy fuel filter replacement during a cold october night.
Our first destination was the flatirons in Boulder, CO. We had friends with climbing gear, a determination to get outside and explore the beauty of the flatirons.
We had a great time goofing off in the flatirons, our rock climbing friend Justin Budd, set ropes, and we scaled up some beautiful pitches. After a hard day of climbing. We decided to do some free style walking, which turned into free style running down the mountain path. Jumping from boulder to boulder and defying what we would even think of doing if we had looked before we leaped. Justin, Abbie an I all agreed it was some of the most fun we had had running ever. I usually tell myself that I don’t run except for a few exceptions; the cops and soccer. Well now there is a new exception to the rule, freestyle trail running. Its always an adventure to play with Justin Budd. Here are some pictures of freestyle running. As I write this, I am in catch up phase, so we have not busted, we are in baja, in fact, I only have 10 days left before I have to leave for colorado.
