"'Stick your finger in it' should always be a step to everything. "
3:59am--I fell down a flight of stairs in the middle of the night. Yikes. Big old boo-boos all over my body and I haven't even gotten out of the state yet. Talk about an inauspicious start.
4:45am--We hung out with Herndon and Tuttle in the airport. And saw Dirty Wes D briefly, since he dropped them off. It's a bit disturbing to run into him so early in the morning; he is one sketchy bearded man.
6:00am--Joyfully reunited with most of the team. I swear it's like being part of a family.
10:23am (which is actually 12:23)--It seems that the artery between Charlotte and Las Vegas is the main conduit of grossly fat travelling people.
10:56am--Wow wow wow I've never flown over the Southwest before. Wow.
11:15am--Las Vegas! (Cibola, bumpty bump)
2:31pm--I love California! Home away from home. Driving up Highway 80 and what glorious vistas!
4:21pm--After wandering like Jews in a desert we find food in Truckee. Dunc and I head straight for the sushi/tapas bar, while everyone else prefers pizza.
7:00pm--Add to the amazing list:
-scenery at Northstar
-snowcapped mountains
-the chalet that we're calling home
-the biggest rainstorm of the year that just hit Truckee. It left the DH course tackier than Westerners can even come to terms with! (according to Herndon)
7:34pm--Now we're hanging out in the girl room watching Planet Earth on a massive flat-screen. Bedtime is coming very soon. Tomorrow: pre-ride XC, walk downhill, great shenanigans no doubt.
damn. jealous.
