Looks pretty sick.
All right, well I guess we'll drop in. So today we are going camping.
It's February. It hasn't snowed since December and in town it's like over 50 degrees.
So we figured while the weather's warm and while there's still a little bit of snow,
we would get out, do a little camping trip, hopefully do some snowboarding if we can find
some good lines. And yeah, just enjoy being out, sleep in a tent again. We haven't slept in a tent
in a really long time and it'll be interesting to see how it goes. But yeah, I guess we'll just
see how it turns out.
Is there anyone still here who feels just a little like me?
And it's midnight in Houston but my watch says 10 43.
And I'm trying my best to believe in the best left in me.
Oh you're crying to test the veins of my fluid belief.
I feel like jello right now. That first part was really hard. I'm just feeling really weak for some
reason but I think the hard part is over and it should be a little bit easier to get to where we
want to go. I just want to get to camp and like hang out with my dog and like relax a little bit.
But we got to hurry because the sun is definitely going down
and we don't have that much time.
So we are at Azure Lake. We wanted to go to Dix but it was a little bit further than we
anticipated so we're here. And it is very nice to have the bag off of our backs and
the split boards off of our feet. So we're just glad to be chilling for the rest of the day.
We're just gonna just get comfy because it's gonna be home for the next couple of days. So
yeah, I'm glad that we're out here camping because camping is the best.
It's not like too cold outside though right now.
Like I'm not wearing gloves and that's a big deal.
We want to snowboard us literally like right there.
Yeah. We don't have to do anything. It's like you're there already.
Ready?
Nice frozen boots.
So we made it to the morning I guess. We weren't actually too cold I think.
And now the sun is up and it's glorious and yeah we're gonna make some breakfast
and coffee and probably get straight to touring. I think we're wanting to head
like up there somewhere to the top of those mountains and do a little snowboarding. So
that's pretty much the whole reason we came out here. But first some warm food and a nice warm
beverage.
How's it going? It's going. I'm feeling good today.
All right we made it on top of a mountain above Azur Lake, our campground somewhere down there.
But yeah we feel really good today. Just it's so nice to be outside. So yeah we're gonna put the
boards together, eat some lunch, drink some water, and ride all the way back down to camp. So
it's been such a real such a good day. I mean yeah it's been amazing.
Looks pretty sick. All right well I guess we'll drop in.
Three, two, one, dropping.
That wasn't nice.
Oh man I'm feeling so good. That was one of those things where like I wasn't sure if we'd
actually be able to do it. We've always wanted to go camping and go snowboarding but
to actually put it together it's pretty crazy. So yeah needless to say I'm stoked but
more than ready to just get back to camp and just eat and hang out. I know Hazel's ready for a nap
too so that was so sick though. Huh Hazy? I'll get some water out here.
Not the best sled but you know.
It says stop waiting to save and set your two boats dummy.
You know um overall the trip actually was pretty fun. I think on the first day we were both
wondering whether or not this was a good idea and by the second day I think we both agreed
that it was a good idea. So yeah it was super fun. It was nice to get out and camp with the snowboards.
It's been something we've been wanting to do forever and somehow we just keep checking these
things off the list. I don't know how because we really have no idea what we're doing but
yeah it keeps working out. So now we've got a little cruiser back down to the car and yeah
and we'll live to see another day I guess. So it was super fun though and I would totally do it again.
