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.
Lots of seats and stuff.
There was our airplane. Looked pretty k00l d00d.
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.
They have a dog.
Here is the entertainment room. Wii, big screen TV, clue on the table, and a pool table.
Dining room, giant antler thing. Big table. Doors to outside.
In the living room they have a giant deer head.
A window to the right of that deer head.
Looking out that window to the bottom right.
Mini-kitchen on the opposite side of the pool table.

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)
Here's starting up the trail.
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.
Here's the EMPTY tube in the water.
Here it is going. The speedboat goes pretty fast. Ignore those people, they're ghosts that the camera catches on film.

The scenery is amazing.
There's an obvious cutoff line where the water has gone down. Shrubbery just stops there. We're in a resivour, by the way.
Tubing gets boring, so some guy I'm not going to name attempts wakeboarding.
Yup. So then someone else tries slolem, which is skiing with one ski.
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.
Here's some shaved sheep from the sheep tent.
Start of rodeo
Yee haw let's drive a tractor and pickup truck in there boys!
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.
The clown later dressed up as a woman with a hooters shirt on.
He also drove a car around with a horse in it later on.
Then parachuters came down, here are some pictures I got. One has a flag attached to him. A+ redneck material.
Afterward they had fireworks.
This is a light post.
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-
There was also this loser in the jumpy thing. Lol, loser.
We had hail one day too.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And the smore I made.
After flying home the airport said the homeland security threat level is at ORANGE. EVERYONE IS A TERRORIST RUN
All in all being rich is pretty gr8.
Hey Tim stop being a ♥♥♥♥ mod and making your own rules up.
