Kadena, AFB.
Big Pine Creek, CA.
Palisades Wilderness Area. AKA the wild.
Antelope Valley Fair. Edwards AFB/Antelope Valley, CA
Big and Rich headlining.
My Guru. These guys were 80, and they walked up 11 miles to Clouds Rest, Yosemite National Park. I was absolutely dying, but figured, hell, if 80-year-olds can make it in this heat, I can. Ran out of water, it was miserable.

Sadie went on vacation with the Doodles. Was feeling it. The wild.
