Other Updates: Weird U.S.: What travel is to one person it may not be to another; it's all very subjective and personal. The book Weird U.S.: Your Travel Guide to America's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets reminded me of this once again. It's not as though I see many of the things in the book as actual travel-related places, but really anything can fall under the travel category now as people travel to see different things and have varying experiences; it's not always all about the Eiffel Tower or the Pyramids of Giza. Lory State Park: Colorado has had quite the mild winter compared to past years that I've experienced. Much of the front range is brown with a smattering of snow spots here and there. As such, I figured I ought to get out and take advantage and fit in a mid-winter hike. It seems like forever since I was on my last hike, and I'm just not prepared to wait until spring or summer for another one. So, in a pretty random manner, I decided to head up to Lory State Park. Olympic Memories: Alpine Skiing: My father and I had so many great experiences at the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympics it's not even funny. To sum them up in three brief entries is impossible as I created a whole scrapbook of the event, and still could've put more in there about what we did and saw. From watching Americans Casey Fitzrandolph and Kip Carpenter win gold and bronze, respectively, in the men's 500m speed skating to the fun times we had out in Park City, Utah, there's just so much that I could say. But really, nothing can top our ride to our first event, men's downhill skiing, in terms of absurdity. |
