and gearing up the ads for x-mas is taking time, too. just trying to get as much exposure as I can between now and Oct, so when I advertise in Oct I'm accessing people I've already started to cultivate.

No idea if this will work, but I'm sure as hell going to try.

We did the High sierra camp loop in three days (50 miles total) that was really cool (and pretty posh)

Then we went hiking, kayaking, and such in Mammoth, and climbed in Clark Canyon

Going back to Clark canyon anytime soon? Cause I'm really free right now, and looking to bum along.

Hmmmmm Matt and I are considering moving someplace with more mountains and trees than San Diego...

Probably still not for a couple years, but we are craving less city and more nature trails right outside our front door that include more than the chaparral we haz here.

Matt wants snow... I don't mind as long as he is the one shoveling (ask me again about this comment after 1 winter :P )

hmmm wonder where we shuld go

I really don't like Colorado, but in my experience there they can get a foot of snow one day and it'll be gone the next. That doesn't happen in the northeast because it normally stays cold throughout the winter (with some occasional bursts of sunshine, of course). But from what I've gathered in CO is that it can get cold enough to snow a lot one day and be in the mid-50s the next. of course, it depends on where you are. My experience is east of the Rockies mostly.

Snow also sucks. I mean, it's really nice and pretty when it's all white and fluffy and falling and sitting on the trees and you're out walking before the plows have hit and there's no one on the street and it's romantic and...and then the sand trucks come; the snow turns brown; the bastard neighbor doesn't throw sand down and there's a sheet of ice under that pretty, untouched, fluffy shit causing you slip and break your spinal cord; it melts just enough to look like ice on the surface but is actually a puddle of frozen water that goes up to your fucking ankle when you're wearing your work shoes coming back from lunch at the diner across the street; there's no place to park your damn car because all the snow is pushed up against the sidewalk; there's no place to walk because all the snow is pushed up against the sidewalk; you gotta shovel it; you gotta shovel it again when the plow goes by; you gotta shovel it again when the fucking plow goes by again; you gotta shovel it again when...fuck it, you get the point.

But hey, it's LOVELY to ski in!

That pretty much sums it up...
