WINE PARTY
We were in Phoenix for quite some time, it seems. Special thanks to John, Aaron, Summer, and Lauren for letting us live on their floor. Thanks for the free parking. I didn't film much in Phoenix. I was too busy conquering gigantic mountains, skating in the sunlight, and playing jenga. Also saw my first episode of "The Biggest Loser." Man, that show pulls on all the right heartstrings. I hope they all win.

A FIFTH OF BEETHOVEN
Everyone we've stayed with on this trip has had at least one dog. I think its a good sign. In Phoenix, the K-9 I spent the most time with was Sedona, a stray dog that found a home in the fancy gated communities near the interstate. She is a quiet dog that seems in desparate need of prozac and a hot meal. Covered in peanut butter. She won't eat in public. Or without peanut butter. Secret cravings.

LISTICUFFS
Some notable moments:

Shoemaker picked me up and took me to FBR. My first ever PGA experience. FREE BEER!!!

Chili

Drive thru liquor store. Not available in the Midwest. And with good reason.

French fries served in tiny shopping carts. Cute magic.


Off to L.A. Will we make it? Stay tuned to find out. . .

Day - 4 Canyon Fodder, Chinese tours

Big Hole
This place made my bones shake. Paul Bunyan's story may have come to a sad close, but his trip west left a beautiful scar on this planet. Not much else to say. The big hole blew my mind. 200 Chinese tourists can't be wrong. I wanted to be a of this canyon. Live in it and breath its red atmosphere. Unfortunately, all we could really do was look at it. And you can only do that for so long.

So, eventually we chased the sunset to Phoenix.

So I didn't write a lot this time. Sorry. It was mostly just a canyon day. And me connecting with the beasts. Normally, fauna such as those captured here can see into your soul, but I was shielded from their piercing gazes by the lens of my camera. Next time, canyon beasts. Next time.
