Mammoth Jan 2008

Trip number two to Mammoth. Mako and Alin, our good friends, drove up with us, spent the weekend and drove back with us. I hope they are still our friends after all that time with the Hanshaw’s. HAHAHHAHA There were also a few other friends that met us there as well. Saturday’s weather was great. Mako, Alin, Miles and I spent pretty much the whole day together. We did split at the end of they day as Miles and I wanted to finish our day with a bus ride to the car. Mako and Alin wanted to board back across the mountain to the car. You would think the people taking the bus would get to the car faster. Not in this case. Miles and I made a wrong turn at Albuquerque. We found ourselves stuck in the snow. Our boards just did a nosedive and we were stuck. Miles’ board not only did a nosedive, but he did a few flips along with it. We spent about 20-30 minutes or so just to get out of that 400-meter area. Not much fun. The next day brought snow and wind. Mako and Alin headed out into the weather for a while until it got too ugly for them and they came back to the condo were we were hanging out. We still had a good time. Mako and Alin make for good traveling partners.
We also saw the brightest rainbow anyone had ever seen. Amazing.

Am I even driving in a lane?

A perfect way to end our trip. The rainbow and the fact that we stocked up on more bread.
