Post Trip to the mountains
As some of you know(Haha just the IRC really), I went to the mountains for a week. Utah. Pretty kickin rad trip. I have a total of 213 pictures, but I won't be posting any with people in them.

First off, my flight was a connection to dallas and then salt lake. Here's a few shots of the Dallas airport.

The ceiling was ripped off and we could see the bare bones of the roof. Tons of dust-insulation and ♥♥♥♥. The poles looked like they had trash bags around them.

Image

Lots of seats and stuff.

Image

There was our airplane. Looked pretty k00l d00d.

Image
Image
Image

Here was the baggage carts. The people loading them in continuously dropped them and tossed them around.

After a while of traveling, we arrive. He drives us to his giant mountainhome.

Image


They have a dog.

Image
Image

Here is the entertainment room. Wii, big screen TV, clue on the table, and a pool table.

Image
Image

Dining room, giant antler thing. Big table. Doors to outside.

Image

In the living room they have a giant deer head.

Image

A window to the right of that deer head.

Image

Looking out that window to the bottom right.

Image

Mini-kitchen on the opposite side of the pool table.

Entertainment room again.

Image

They have an underground washing room and wine cellar.

Here's the back of their humongos house.

Image
Image
Image
Image

There is a natural stream there.

Alright so day 1 I go on a hike in the morning. There is a trail at the end of our private drive, and we can go all the way up the mountain. Here's some pictures I got from halfway up, before I turned back due to altitude sickness.

Start of trail, you can sort of see the end of the private drive(and the playground)

Image

Here's starting up the trail.

Image


Image

OH NO SOMEONE LOST THEIR DOG!

Nice view.

After that we went ziplining at the olympic center and slid down a mountain in a metal half-tube on an insecured sled. That was fun. Didn't get any pictures though.

Later on I was playing WEE BOWLAN gaems and I SNAPPED MY KNEE OUT OF MY SOCKET. I proceded to fall onto the floor and scream, not knowing what the ♥♥♥♥ just happened. So then we move the table out of the way and I am leaning my back against the couch with my big new knee hurting like ♥♥♥♥. I'm like oh ♥♥♥♥ this is going to hurt you guys have to pop this back in though wait who has done this before hey you are a doctor man don't you know how and he like shrugs and I'm like AURRHHGH it hurts just call an ambulance and have them do it so I use them as crutches and we get a little past the pool table almost to the stairs and I feel it pop back in. I'm like hey wait I think something just happened yup it did so someone puts a chair behind me and I try to sit down and I notice ♥♥♥♥ THAT HURTS trying to change from standing to sitting. But that's it everything is better and I laff at popping knee due to wii bowlan.

So that hurts like ♥♥♥♥ for ~2 days, until I can walk again. Sadly we were going tubing and wake boarding and skiing the next day. I just sat on the boat and took pictures.

DAY TWO. Here's the docks. Our boat is the third on the right. Some people are down there.

Image

Here's the EMPTY tube in the water.

Image

Here it is going. The speedboat goes pretty fast. Ignore those people, they're ghosts that the camera catches on film.

Image
Image
Image

The scenery is amazing.

Image
Image
Image

There's an obvious cutoff line where the water has gone down. Shrubbery just stops there. We're in a resivour, by the way.

Image

Tubing gets boring, so some guy I'm not going to name attempts wakeboarding.

Image
Image
Image
Image

Yup. So then someone else tries slolem, which is skiing with one ski.

Image
Image

So that's it for the boat trip. Next day we go to the rodeo. The rodeo also has some animals around. The actual show is extremely redneck. They drive a pickup truck and tractor into the arena with people on them after horsewomen with big American flags run around. It is pretty ridiculous.

Here's some stuff from the chicken tent.

Image
Image
Image
Image


Here's some shaved sheep from the sheep tent.

Image


Start of rodeo

Image

Yee haw let's drive a tractor and pickup truck in there boys!

Image
Image

They had horse and bull bucking, I will put these tiny videos up to youtube, but it will be ♥♥♥♥ quality as they were recorded at minuscule size.
Image

The clown later dressed up as a woman with a hooters shirt on.

Image

He also drove a car around with a horse in it later on.

Image
Image

Then parachuters came down, here are some pictures I got. One has a flag attached to him. A+ redneck material.

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image


Afterward they had fireworks.

Image
Image
Image

This is a light post.

So the next day we went back to the olympic park to watch the ski jumpers. They'd go off ramps and into a pool.

These pictures were taken up on a grassy hill right next to(5 ft from) the ramp, and some are from the spectator area.

Before jump-

During jump-

Image


There was also this loser in the jumpy thing. Lol, loser.

Image


We had hail one day too.

Image

Another day we went to the Caledonian. Butcher's is a restaurant that is part of that hotel(I think it's a hotel, it is a high-class small one), and we ate dinner there. I had a kobe beef cheeseburger with steak fries. Kobe beef is a little overhyped and the difference isn't worth the extra money. Steak fries(VERY fat, very good french fries) are amazing though.

Image

Another day towards the end we put on giant suspender waders and went fly fishing(nymph style). Standing in the water for four hours isn't my idea of excitement, and I caught one fish. My feet were numb. But 100% dry! Thanks, waders.

Image

Another day we saw a moose. He had a big rack. I went close to him to get a good shot, but they all sucked because it was too dark and my camera's flash sucked. The good ones are probably near the end of these.

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

Sort of hard to make out. I had to let it sit on a piece of wood for the night shots which are brighter but longer shutter.

We had a bonfire too one night in the fire pit by the playground. Made smores.

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image


And the smore I made.

Image


After flying home the airport said the homeland security threat level is at ORANGE. EVERYONE IS A TERRORIST RUN

Image


All in all being rich is pretty gr8.


Hey Tim stop being a ♥♥♥♥ mod and making your own rules up.

The garbage bags on the pillars are to keep asbestos from giving you cancer. True story.

Just view it in IE or Opera, as explaining to you how to allow firefox to display that much would require too much time.

Also ♥♥♥♥ that ♥♥♥♥ was asbestos? AUGH.

What the hell happened to the Dallas airport there?
It looks.. awkward.
And uh, wow, so much.. Perhaps a 56k warning in the title or somesuch?
Even though 56k is like 1% of the internet populace anymore...

I think they might've been doing remodeling. I'm really not sure. The ceiling just seemed open.

No actually instead of editing that into the title certain bad mods prefer to ♥♥♥♥ EVERYTHING UP.

Well, that has to be the nicest house I have ever seen. But the inside looks as if it would be cold if you know what I mean.

Also in the picture of the back of the house, the dog looks like a plastic model.
