Yellow brick road

It is hard for me to keep down my anxiety level when I went from three months of continuous traveling and daily adventures to a more stable atmosphere. I think about how hard it was for Al and I to have enough balls to go about and do what we did. I think about the hard days and how much we grew along the way. I remember how we were stuck in uncomfortable situations forced to be strong. I think about the days we cried. I think about the days we missed our peeps and pushed ourselves saying "do things we would never normally do". I think about the time we jumped off the cliffs and had a hot air balloon ride.

Last night I lay in bed with being "stressed out" for the first time in what seemed like months. I started thinking of our travels and almost got mad at myself for being stressed about minimal ever day situations when there is an entire world out there full of beauty. I came to the conclusion that sometimes life hurts (and you cry in a bathroom so that no one can see...but long for attention and love hoping that u are found). It is unfortunate that it is necessary for us to occasionally suffer but ultimately makes since. We are all under the same sun trying to acquire, accomplish, sort out, do, become. We know and feel right from wrong and yet sometimes question a decision. We have doubts. We feel as if some is deserved or owed. We expect. We push. We cry, laugh, sing. We desire to be noticed and accepted. Then we hurt some more knowing its not always perfect. We start to become AWARE. We grow....we change once more.....and again and agian. We see others. We help. We teach. We inspire motion in other:) We figure out what really matters (which weens away at time) . We laugh and smile while thinking in our head "please dont let this moment go away". We stay awake just to be there one minute longer.
While laying in bed I think ......"Please NEVER let my memories of  Send It subside".

Cali baby

There is so much to say. To be honest I have no idea where Al is nor what she is doing. I have only spoke to her twice in the past month. As much as I try to live life in the moment in the "now" my mind is all over the place. Ky and I are true Ski bums. We live a life of low stress and  life that I assume many wish that they could live. We live with two homies and a chick. I have never met such rad peeps. They were kind enough to let us into their pad (cabin) without a payment until we started to work. We are officially California residence! It feels good to have the new scene and the new life. We work on the mountain and we ride almost every day. We have access to Northstar, Squaw Valley, Alpine and Donner. My mind is free on the mountain. Ky hit those rails like a mad man. I swear she is accident prone and our day usually ends with her saying " I gotta go im hurt". I keep it easy and loft off of shit. Air born oh ya! We are about to hit up Lake side where half the town thinks we are Aussie due to our fake accent. Oh gosh! Peace out send it.

Heber City.

I reckon the ladies r still in bed. It is approx 7 somethin at the butt crack of dawn. The frost is on the windows and i am stoked for snow to fall. I spend about an hour a day checking out reviews on boards and putting them into the shopping cart (I cannot afford). Our Ky turned 26 on the 22nd! I was a cranky bitch that day. Erin said "Shay its no Koh Tao but this is home and this is ur family". Ha.......oh please. Still gotta make some apology phone calls. I would also like to announce.....I have received several comments in regards to my spelling. IN My defense it is due to the following: A. I use abbreviation to look cooler B. I type way to fast and am to speedy to notice errors. C. I really did not listen bout 3rd grade up. So ur (yes I know its you'r) going to have to deal. The girls and I are busy applying for work and looking for housing in Tahoe. We will leave on the 1st. As for now we must prep for Halloween to be the hottest chicks in town ;)

Thailand!

We are in Utah with an appropriate internet connection and there is to much to say. So considering it was muggy as fuck and the connection sucked were a bit behind on the posts. After a 17 hour flight were feelin a bit funky. Were currently chillin at the local coffee shop in Heber City. So lets back track a bit. Were on our way to the Full Moon party in our taxi full of foreigners and we nail a scooter with three Thai chicks on it. Thank god they were ok. The party had 30 thousand people and was insane! People were dancing along the beach with music and lights everywhere. Al and I walked around in awww. Talk about a gnarly experience I will always remember. Back to Koh-Tao. Ross this spunky lil Scotland dude was always sayin hi to Al and he. We ended up kickin it with him and his buddies during the day and later hit up the Koh-Tao pub crawl that our friend Jake was workin. These boys were locals and our best buddies on the island. The pub crawl was killer fun! It entailed a shirt, a bucket, and a shot at every bar. We ended up at the Lady Boy show. I dont even kno what to say about that! Holy goodness. Those Lady boys r prettier than us;) U always here rumors about the local boys hookin up with them. Hmmm. I went to pull mula outa my account and my account had been froze. FML! Im bummin out at the b-fast shop on the island and this blk dude starts chattin it up with me. We listened to hip hop and danced in the restaurant. He took me on a scooter ride up to his nice as pad on the top of the hill. He took me to dinner and AL and my friends kept walkin by laughing. Apparently he was a famous diver and all over the Padi magazine. Ah.....who cares! I was not into him. I dissed him hard core and met back up with Al and the local boys. Ross was bummin cuz he saw me with the Padi dude so I went to go find him. Cute lil guy.

Just chillin

(you 2 sound like lebians) Unfortunetly I was unable to go to Texas cause the ticket sitch did not work out... so Im just truckin it wherever I can find a bed till you two get home..

2 months today!

Al and I have been on traveling for exactly 2 months today. So on our behalf the island is holding a huge rager for uS . It is the full moon party on koh-phayan. The island of elephants and scooters.  We catch the fairy in apporx .....oh shit right about now! No dice on the lost phone;( Ky....where the hell r u? Texas yet? Lets celebrate......HAPPY 2 month!!!! Oh and ps......Bankok is completely flooded so we may be permanent residence here. No biggi

scooter-mini bus-big bus-truck-fairy-taxi...HERE!

Ky u lil shit. We were in Disneyland! So....I lost my phone along my journeys and am on the verge of a freak the fuck out! But...on another note, life is good. We have arrived on my favorite island koh-Tao. In a day we will head to Koh-phanyan for the full moon party. Our first day in Bangkok was killer. We had made arrangements to catch the bus to the island at 6pm so we checked out of the Samesun in the am and hit up the crazy town! We got some coctails at s chill place and made friends with "Dong". I couldnt understand a word he was saying. We had a drink called the "Nikita" (no-shit Ky .....it was really named that). Props to Nikita our meaning "girls who ride". It was a definite sign. There were these two dudes on the table aside of us and the more we talked to them the closer they moved to our table. We started shooting tissue into there beer. I made a bet that if we made a basket in the beer that they were '"our bitches" for an hour. Al scored! 60 min of being spoiled. They bought us gum, bracelets, and picked up our tab. I said "take us shopping". We started walking down the markets and checking out the Ray bans ;). I turned to Al and said "we need to bounce...when I say go...RUN". The boys stopped to talk and we darted into a hotel like CSI Bangkok. Down the hall, take a turn, into a parking garage. Laughing our ass''s off. We ran bck to Sameson to grab our luggage and head to the bus. Our panies and shirts were drying, hanging on the rack in the hotel (we totally forgot).  We proceeded to the bus. While I was busy laughing jumping and jibbing my roller backpack off of curbs like it was a snowboard ....Al said "we forgot our shit". FML. Back to hotel. We finially made it to bus stop. The lil dude drove up on a scooter and told Al to get on. See you ltr Al. Where the eff are u taking her? I waited....and waited. Played with a thai baby and waited more. Herrroo! He finailly came back.  He dropped us off in bfe were we got on a mini bus. Holly shit only peeps who spoke English. I kept "wispering to Al from the back seat " I am going to freak out in this inclosed lil bus were the roof hits my head...were gonna roll"! Then we got on the large bus. Props to the dude with the killer BO. Love smelling that all the way. Then to the truck (in the back). 3 hour wait. To the shitty fairy. Wait agian ....and off. Need to pee? To bad! 3 hours on the fairy and....Were here! Stinky, sweaty, hungry, tired, and loving life! Took a nap n our heat stroke hotel and woke up to "were the eff is my phone". Good times ;) Bucket anyone?

Boot stupid boogy!

Well last night here in Utah it was a fly by the seat of your pants night. First and foremost.. the Utes got tromped...Bummer!  but the night started out with a couple lazy chicas chillin in hoodie and sweats. Its was going to take a miracle to get mine and Erins ass's off the couch.... All the sudden that miracle swept over Erin and we were off like that. Flannel shirts and boots!! Big D wanted to swing by the Durango, but when we walked in it was like vvvvvvvvv (record stopping) I was out before I could say cheese on rice. Off to the Republican we go. That place is a dive, but oddly enough we hit a huge ski party premier jig! Then we headed off to the Westerner. Im just at the bar trying to work my steeze and next thing I notice is Erin just a whippin around on the mechanical bull!!!!! Hell yes! that little lady road it longer than all the other brats with tramp stamps!~ Thats my baby sis... you can tell we come from a cowboy town. Did I mention I hate line dances...and the night was topped off by a girl telling my buddy that he needs to find cuter friends to hang out with! um.... what the hell do you say to that! Bitch beware I will scratch off your pound of concealer next time I see you! and then what puts a crown on every good night at the bars... A trip to Betos!!! Veggie burritto please!
ky out

Shanghai Nights

Morning # 3..I feel like a lil kid I am full of excitement in less than 2 hours we will be in Disneyland! We walk down  to catch the tram to the "greatest place on earth." I decide to stop at the sev and get a "hot shot" it's basically a coffee shooter for about $1. I hold down the coffee button and the lil chinese lady starts yelling at me from across the room. I have no clue what she is saying she points to the sign and apparently you are not supposed to hold down the button. I did not get that memo. Shay ran out laughing. I was trying so hard to hold it in but i could not help it, it was too damn funny..way to start the morning out right! We roll into disneyland both stoked! Thinking it would be about the same as the one in the USA. We were so wrong..they did not have Indian Jones, Splash Mountain, Pirates of  The Carribean, or the Matterhorn.  Luckily they had Space Mountain. $55 for about 3 rides talk about a joke..over it after about an hour! We tried to come up with ways to get our money back but nothing worked. ahwell! Live and learn right? Hong Kong was the sweetest. Off to Thai in about 3 hours. Gooobye

Herro Big buddha!

We figured out how to score free internet. the dude is lookin at me like " u dumb bitch I am on to you ".  The guy at our hotel bar, the lady at sev, the pool attendant, all hate us. I love to fuck with the peeps here. they are so serious! I try and do high fives and fists....thier not down with that! They takes pics of EVERYTHING! Herro flower (snap) herro sign that says this way to buddah (snap) Its me again (snap)....annoying! They also stare at us even after we look them in the eye. They are sweethearts though....I must say! They say Dank You for Cumming. and Goot Morning. The jungle ride at Disneyland said " this way for English". It was like " Herro...der is a elephant and a gerraff to ur wite... wook ober der u see da dungle people". Close enough!! We went on the sky tram and saw the worlds largest Buddah. To Gnong Pong town. It was freakin amazin!  Met a lesbo couple. they thought we were lesbian too. Whatevs. Got some sick pics and drank Smirnoff on the bus back home :) Off to Thai!!!

Sugarhood Pub

Ky here...
Had I known my 4pm beer sesh with Eric and Steph was going to turn into an epic night for the books, I would have done a few things different
1. I would have stayed home reading "Vodka can you hear me, its me Chelsea" your my girls Chelsea Handler!!
2. Should a, could a, would a, stuck to just beer! come on ky, you know the golden rule about mixing!
3. Would not have dressed like a dude in my tall hoodie and beanie had I known Steph and I were going to be the only chicks in the bar. 30 to 1 rajio (no clue how to spell that word) But everyone thought I was just one of the dudes!
4.Would have bet money on the pool game I dominated against dudes..whats up golden hands!!
5. Would not have put about 10 shots on Eric's tab to get me, Steph, and every decent looking guy a shot!
can you say  $250 tab... Eric does not know it was us girls.....gonna keep it on the DL
6. Would not have bailed as soon as we got to Erics with some dude I met @ the pub. He is in my phone as "boy" . but he was chill to watch Always Sunny in Philly. Sorry for bailin Heber, I thought since you were hammied that you would not notice the slight detail the person you went with was gone!ha
The best part is that once I was @ my other buddies place eric called me from the front yard holding the sandwich I asked him to make me! ha ha! its the thought that counts! thanks Enrique. Love your face!
7. Would have set my alarm clock so I was not 2 hours late to work!
8. Last but not least, would have brought my gear to hike and shred. there is snow in PC... yayyyy!
despite the fact that Im hung over, wearing the same clothes and have the biggest knot in my hair... Life is good!
Shay and Al... hope your doing the same. Love you chicas!

Tung Chung

It's about time we found some internet connection. New York was chaotic but fun. We arrived at 5:30 a.m. both delirious but stoked to be in the big city. We rented a car it was a ford focus..so sick! We somehow managed to get lost in New Jersey. We we were on the East side(ghetto) I literally slowed down to 5 mph to park and a guy in a beamer came flying by screaming "fuck you for stopping" I was about to flip him off and say some choice words back, until I saw the dude..talk about scary! We walked around the city, went to Broadway and Wall St. Then found what we thought was a nice neighborhood to sleep in. Way to many creepers walking the streets we moved the car about 3 times before we found an ok spot. Good morning New York! 10:05 a.m. we catch our flight to Hong Kong. Shay's seat was in the very back of the plane we were seperated for 16 hours straight..damn joke! Longest plane ride ever, but well worth it. Panda Hotel, big buddah, monestary, new kicks, trams, awesome cities, beautiful mountains, life is good! Disneyland here we come. Much love!

Might as well call it "drama night" holy shit dinner changed from 7 to 8 then Er Bear(the chick who planned the dinner) decided to just go eat in pc with some friends before. WTF! Lyss(our model friend) did not eat all day and I thought she was going to strangle a bitch if we did not find food and find it FAST! Wendy's dollar menu it is..talk about a delicious dinner. Ky had a melt down, Shay was going to kill someone, Er was in love, and well Lyss and I just pretty much just chilled and rocked out to some bands. Now we sit in the airport about to catch our flight to NYC! Its Shay now. JetBlue....home of the most legroom. Really? I would say home of the good movies or best nuts!

I cry randomly when Im driving alone and hear a good song....(thats my secret that is def not a secret anymore) I will not cry over a guy. Thanks though! I read a ton... but cant spell for the life of me. I throw words in to sentences that I think sound sophisticated.... but its not even a word in the dictionary.....

Def ready for the next crazy adventure in life with my my LG CREW! Back to Shay.... Yo! So Al and I did the hot air balloon ride. We had a rough start. Take off was a bit low.

He offered us a job for next summer as balloonist.  I see big things in our future!

I some how scored us a free taxi ride.. yeaa just goin to keep my gypsy ways a rollin'. On Wednesday we are going on a hot air ballon ride in Park City. My grandma bought me a 2 for 1 ticket for x-mas so I decided to take Shay. (Shay you better love me) Ha.

So...get off ur lazy ass's n' live life. Just do it (nike). Isnt the world going to end 2012 anyway?? Heres another quote of the day..."I think its a mess, u think its amazing. U think ur a mess, I think ur amazing". Something like that (almost certain thats not even close). Dont be scared to live' Peace out!

What is Home?

6 weeks of traveling. 6 days back in Utah. 6 traffic tickets. 666. hmmmm. Its been awhile. I found that when we are in Truckee (our favorite place). We are so occupied its hard to find time to write. So yes we did pass back through that way. We have  to catch our flight on Oct 1st from SLC and make some loot in the meantime.  In Truckee....Bratty Josh and lil Joey were nice enough to let us crash at there pad once more. We met a lot more peeps and hit up a couple premieres. Who did I fall in love with now? Jon Jackson. Holly good god. He had a small clip in the Art Of Flight premiere ...its whatevs. Its his sick dreads and style that got me. BEA beautiful.  Yo Al talking now.. round #2 in Truckee was so damn much fun! I some how managed to get hooked up with a brand new 2010 K2 Nikita snowboard. Thanks to Will. So stoked! We obviously had to go into Coffee Bar (our favorite coffee shop) to see the Teepee fellas, love those boys! We met Casey Case's girlfriend Christina, what a doll.  She is a hairstylist.  I had a spontaneous moment and decided to chop my hair off. I freaking love it thank you Christina! Ok, lets just say Shay had one hell of a night! I almost killed her. I think those margaritas hit her a little too fast. She has no recollection of the night and might I add it was the best night ever! Way to end our last night there with a BANG! haha we just laugh about it now.  Oh and another time I wanted to kill her was when she locked the keys in the car at Donner lake. $60 bucks  later we got in. Put it on the tab! N' back to me , Shay. So hmmm really Al... I had no idea u wanted to kill me. Haha yes that night was a bit Gnar but now I have  some sick stories. Back in Utah. So much for keeping us being home on the DL down low. The entire gang got word. yo fella's!!! GNO. Girls night out. Feelin a bit funky at so called "home". Slightly foreign but good to see the peeps u love. New York here we come....... Props to follower 28. Love u always Higgins. Az pride

Crime Scene

Mt. Shasta..How the hell did we end up here? We park our home outside of a g-store. While getting ready for bed Shay manages to drop her pillow in her toothpaste spit. Keep in mind she is wearing spongebob pj pants. Way to go Shay! After about 10 minutes of  moving around trying to find the right position in the car I find my perfect spot. I shut my eyes and all of the sudden I here "wake up you are going to jail." I pop up out of my bed ( jeep seat) thinking that I was going to jail. I look straight in front of me and there are cops and kids wheeling a big trash can. I turn to Shay, "wtf is going on here?" I feel like shit is about to go down!" After a couple cars peeling out and what looked like an arrest, we cannot sleep. This is better than T.V. 2:30 a.m. we finally fall asleep. I only woke up about 4 times last night. Once to another effing train, a bum looking for cans in the garbage, freezing my ass off, and of course Shay peeing. Did I mention she pees more than anyone I have ever met. I feel bad for her for when she's a little old lady and has to wear depends haha. I must say I miss my bed in Lincoln City and morning runs on the beach. Where to next we just dont know, "I've got to got to gotta take it slow" (Chili peppers) Thailand 2 weeks from today whoop whoop! Oh and a big shout out to Rocky our 26th follower..hells yea!

Gypsy's back in HoOd

The first time we rolled through Hood Al and I left a note on these boys car we were jogging by. Dear boys (hot girl voice) We are visiting town and looking to have some fun tonight. U should hit us up. Something like that. Rocky, noticed the note on his car after we had left town ;( but we made arrangements to chill when we came back through. Rocky, Sage, and Tity Bar, took us to this beautiful waterfall 40 min outside Govy. In our mess of a car I managed to locate my swim top(no bottoms) .Al barrowed some bottoms (no top) .The waterfall was phenominal. I wanted to go to this tame pool on the other side. I asked Rocky "how do we get there? The water looks rough". He said he had never passed this way but attempted to do so anyway. hahah.....river took him under!!! occasionally I saw feet and hands pop up. I didnt kno if I jump to save him or yell for help. He got about a foot from hitting rock (not funny) and obtained the nickname "Rocky"aka John. He made it out safe folks :) We all jumped off the cliff , floated down to the beach, burnt sage and tlked some shit. Ltr we hit up the local bar. Played fuseball and meet some locals. Whata day!  Props to Bostyn or 24th follower!...This blog is about to BLOW ha. To Rocky: Ps.....cords rule.....

The Proposal

10:00 a.m. We wake up in our car surounded by beautiful mountains. Sleeping in this late is a new record for us.  We get our morning coffee and hit the road. Vancouver round #2. We drive into the big city trying to find our friends house. Let me tell you Shay and I have a real rough time with directions especially when we are in a city where traffic is crazy and when you need to take a right their are only one way streets. Sweaty palms, horns honking, and pedestrians everywhere. Talk about an anxiety attack waiting to happen. After about 45 min of city driving we make it to there casa. Shower, dance party, pizza, and then the club. Ok so we've known our buddies Mo and Zee for only about 3 hours total and I am already getting proposed to..WTF! "Alexa, I love your face, your body, your smile, your laugh, etc. so I think when I move to the states we get apartment and get married? What do you say?) Really buddy? I've only known you 3 hours.. pump the brakes! Next morning we go to our car to grab some stuff head back through a door to the apt bulding and we are locked in.You've got to be kidding me I feel like I am in jail right now. 10 min go by and finally someome lets us in. Mo'  begging me to stay for another day or perhaps the rest of my life. I had to go, I broke the cute lil guys heart. We are both so stoked to be going back to the USA, poor Shay didn't get a stamp on her passport. 30 min into the US what do you know we are once again getting pulled over. What is this like the 3 or 4 time now. Cop comes to the passenger side and asks me why I didn't have my seatbelt on well ya see officer I just forgot. $124 ticket..put it on the tab! Talk about a mood killer. Another good nights rest in the car and we are heading back to Mt. Hood. Peace..

Check ya ltr Whistler'

We have been on the road for one month today!!! What a celebration tonight will be. So.....I shit u not, we saw mommy bear and baby bear. They were just kickin it in Whistler Village. I tried to get as close as I could (real smart). I named the baby Gummy. That was tight! Last  nights outing lead us to a skate competition inside a chill bar. Tall tee's, skinny jeans, skate shoes, boys boys boys! The announcer said its give a beer to a random hot chick time! You bet ya.....he walked right over and handed al and I  a beer (toot my own horn ha).  After the comp they started a break dancing circle. Al and I were like "were going in". I told her I was right behind her.......then backed out! She killed it! For some reson I had it in my head I had the best rythum last night. Almost certian I did not. Two locals were our dancing pals. I fell in love once again ;) We walked home (our car) and crashed out. Check ya ltr Whistler.

Whistler-Girls who ride

$7 gross beer, $5 watery coffee, $16 meal......put it on the tab. WTF is up with prices. Whistler, capital of "goodness he is h o t"! We hit up a local hangout last night. On a Wednesday. Place was packed! Al was lil miss independant. Everytime I turned around she was running away talking to someone new. Nick our lovely local, kept hitting on both of us. So....we just messed with him. He kept saying "Babes....ill take under my wings". Nah bro...were cool. Buffalo something something dance joint was poppin. Al and I were just a dancin! We got up on the stage pop, locked, and dropped it. We rolled in at our friends really nice pad 3am. Al woke at 7.....me 1130.  Back to our car. Surprise.....another ticket! Our friend was yelling "just dont pay it" from his car window. We were also lucky enough to have "cocks" written on the jeep. It was nicely placed under my girls who ride decal. How original u dumb shit!  Hit up the sickest lake. Tanned, slept, and back at coffee. Just another day in paradise.

Vancouver

Welcome to Hastings St. home of the homeless, crack heads, hookers, dealers, (no i do not want to buy any pills) mase much needed..ahh get me the eff outta here! The online adds on the motel were deceiving, definitely not a good first impression of Vancouver. Once we got out of the east side we felt much safer. We cruised to Granville St, which is basically just a street full of bars. We went into a backpackers hostel and listened to some live music. Shay was in love with the guy who was playing she said "I really am in love" about 13 times. Later that night we ended up at a dance club that played the oldest, and worst music ever. That didn't matter though we fist pumped the night away.

BC

While attempting to cross over the border into Canada we got escourted to lot #2 by the cops. They searched our car and questioned us. I mean really do we look that suspicious you'd think because we have a Utah license plate we'd be golden. After 2 hours of waiting in traffic and another hour of being questioned and searched, We made it in..hell yea! Shay is just so upset that she did not get a stamp on her passport. Really it's all she talks about; super annoying, wish her luck. She may get one on the way out. So first night in Canada and I am driving, dude starts honking and flips me off for no reason. I guess it's because I am from the USA. Hmm..Welcome Vancouver! 100 kph on the freeway.  I think that converts to 100 mph right? We'll get there in no time. HA! Let me just say everything is sooo expensive here $75 to fill up the tank, $5 for a stack of pancakes at Denny's..I can get that shit for $2 in the US.  Looks like were going annorexic from here on out ;)  The best part about this place so far is that you only have to be 19 to drink effff ya! Off to find a place to shower..

Seattle-Bumbershoot

I am enjoying Butthole surfers at the Bumbershoot Fest when I look over and Al is having some big dude boost her up. She flies into the crowd lke a bat out of hell. She is surfing the crowd lke a mad man. Flippin n' turnin. I laughed my ass off. She road the crowd all the way to the front, finds her way back to me and says "I wanna go again". Our buddy from Mount Hood was n town for the music. He introduced us to all his friends and a large group of us kicked it all night. The best concert that we saw was....Wiz Khalifa.He rocked it. The arena was soooo crowded they stopped allowing people in. Al and I snuck past the security guard into row 2 (by a hot black dude). Best seats eva!! We acted casual like and danced the night away. When we walked back to our car we had a parking ticket. I am keeping a hold of ALL OF THEM! Off to Vancover....................

In da hood.....Mount Hood

While in mount hood we stopped at a chill lil bar they call the "rat". One of our friends from Utah just happened to roll in.....Sup! He introduced us to his shredding friends. A group of us went and chilled by a camp fire that night and laughed our ass's off. The next day we hit up a beautiful lake listened to music, bbq'd, and kicked it in the sun. These boys all live in there cars, rarely shower (ha), and just ride Mount Hood everyday :) true snowboard bums! We satyed in a family owned ghetto hotel that already had pee in the toilet and no tp. The next day we traveled into Seatle. Alexa's friend Bostyn from Utah met up with us and we raomed the streets of downtown, There were peepes singing "praise the lord". They claimed there singing made it rain. Later we relized there were people throwing water from the top of the building. We stayed in a crack head hotel that was 45 bones! dude next to our room kept us up all night. He was shouting "anyone want pizza or cocaine"?. Crazy dumb ass. We are currently chillin at the cutest coffee shop about to hit up the bumbershoot music fest. Excited!

Portland

Good morning neighbor! Alright so im pretty sure we picked the busiest street in Portland to sleep in our car last night. Is it necessary for the conductor to honk the horn the entire time passing through town? FML!  Portland is a pretty sick city their are coffee shops on every corner. It has a large river that runs through the center with a couple sweet bridges. Its considered hippy grundge so we feel right at home. Parking on the other hand is a joke fifty cents will only get you like 2 minutes, I swear! Mike and John took us out to a local brewery where we ordered every appetizer on the happy hour menu. The pretzels were bigger than our heads..literally. We decided on our adventure we have to do something out of the norm in every major city we stop at. Shay wanted to see what a strip club looks like so we hit up "Blush". Bow chika wow wow...she lasted about one minute and came out laughing. Last night we went on a run in a cute little town right outside of the city. At every stoplight we would bust out our hip hop moves. Shay got a little to into it and ran into a tree..no but really. Watch out Hip hop/joggin is about to BLOW! In closing I would like say that Shay is one scary ass driver her new nick name is (Swerving Sally) we get honked at at least 5 times a day. Wish me luck on our drive to Mt. Hood. Big shout out to Larry our 20th follower! Later

Da Beach Man

I would like to announce the lady at Godfather coffee in Astoria Oregon is a huge bitchface! Anyhow we have spent the last couple days in Lincoln beach and Cannon beach. Today we are hittin up P-town to meet up with Jon and Mike again. We had a "close call" when I almost nailed a subi with my jeep in Lincoln. Bouta inch away. Good thing I have insurance;) Then got in a flip off fight! Am I the bad driver or r they? We havent quite made it to Portland yet! Can I just say Free Willey is far from true. I waited for the whale to jump over the rocks while the background music played but no-go. Just stoked to see the whale and starfish. Anthony spoiled the shit out of us and let us chill at his beach house for a few days. Last night we stayed with Alexa's grandma and her two friends in Cannon Beach. They made us a delicious dinner and we played the 1962 game Password. This has been the relaxation part of the trip :) Now.....ready to rage!! (not really). Till next time muah'

Go Ducks!

Let me just start off by saying I am so freaking sick of Shay she is driving me crazy, I knew this time would come but shit i didn't think it would come so soon..just kidding love you Shay. We have already been gone two weeks and we are not homesick at all. Last night we went to the Eugene Celebration tickets were $15 (way out of our budget), so we decided to find a way to sneak in. Down a back alley and through  a business building we end up in the middle of the celebration. Ya, that's how we roll. Twenty minutes later Shay gets caught by Howie, who escorts her out. turns out were not as skeevy as we thought. It is one big party at the celebration we listened to some live reggae, hip hop bands and danced in the streets.We met some friends from Portland Jon and Mike. Shay and Jon scratched lottery cards all night and won a woppin 11 bucks! After a late night and some burritos we ended the night with passin out! Now, we reside in the most peaceful beach house along the Oregon Coast in Lincoln City. Shays moms buddy hooked it up! We are drinkin margaritas I blended to perfection. Ah....what a life. This is divine :) Portland next' 

Oregon

Red Wood forest was incredible. We were able to crawl inside the trunks and play keebler elves. They were h u g e! I told lil TPT that I saw Harry Henderson. shhhhh I really did see Big Foot. The biggest elk I have ever seen came out of know where. He was allowing all the cars to get really close and snap a shot. Lets go for round 2 with getting pulled over shall we? Alexa (miss lead foot) got pulled over for speeding. He drove to the side of the vehicle and said "slow down". No ticket! Its cuz were chicks ;) After what seemed like a century of driving we arrived in Eugene Oregon! Go ducks. I feel like a princess in our room. Can we say luxory! Our tv is the size of a computer screen (mini), and its so effin hot we are constantly breaking a sweat. There was a coffee shop along the way that had .05 cent coffee. I shit u not!  Poor lil lady will def go outa biz with those prices. We roamed the town (no night life), got T-bell and hit the sack. Tomorrow is Eugene days, a drunken fest. We'll check that shit out and head to Portland. Nighty night fella's

shark sighting at the Wharf. Remain calm bitches

...I got my wallet back, thanks to Chad at CVS pharmacy in Auburn,CA. It's good to know that there are some honest people in this world. The Bay has left us with a memorable impression. First night in the city we roamed the streets, got hit on, got asked to apply at a strip club, window shopped, and saw the lights. We were lucky enough to arrive there the same time Shay's brother, Tyler, was in town. Him and Skip ( his wing-man) showed us around the big city. We saw China Town, Fishermans Wharf, Lumbardt St., Castro St.(props to the 3 naked men protesting and the giant wooden penis...Gay pride!), little Italy, etc. We were stoked to ride what is called "The Rocket" a 60 mph speed boat, Tyler was bound and determined to get hammered prior to the ride. We were all abourd! Shay decided that if she was an animal she would be a seal on the pier, she is A: lazy, B: loves to sleep, and C: bitches,,,ALOT! Just like the seals. Third day in San Francisco we met the bay coastguard crew who took us out to Hoolighans and gave us b-fast vouchers. Hell yes, Thanks boys! " No one on the corner has swagga like us" Off to the Redwood Forest.

No biggi

I guess every adventure must have the "I wanna cry" moment. Last night was a joke! Us two dipshits managed to leave Alexas wallet in the G-store bathroom while admiring her new tat. We did not notice until we arrived at the toll to get into The Bay. After scraveging through the jeep we only came up with $3.47.  Good thing the dude let us slide through on the remaining $1.53, thanks bro. Us brilliant travelers rolling in after a 49ers game on a Saturday night had continious stop and go traffic.  Alexa about had a nervous breakdown frantically searching through the cluster fuck jeep for her wallet...no dice. 160$ room?? No prob (put it on the tab)! Looks like were sleeping in the jeep tonight. I wanted to stay cheap so I ordered off the $2 menu at Denny's. The problem was I ordered EVERYTHING! While at Denny's we met Glen, (the creeper from Reno). No,Glen we will not go out tonight. I felt like I was watching NYPD. On the table to the right of us their was a major drug deal going down. The massive wad of cash was a dead give away, "I think their going to shank a chick". How do we get in on this biz?  Off to bed in the CVS parking lot, livin the dream!

Leavin the Fam.

Off to San Fran 168 miles (I made that up). Last night with our tipee fam. Holly eff how do u spell tipi?? Anyhow sat around the fire, ate bean dip (not a good idea), sang songs, played music. Camille, our local barista, told a story of a cat that got a hold of a tampon and made what looked like an angel.WTF?? I called her the tampon angel all night. Alexa is currently getting a tat. HUGE' Go big. Well on the road.....

Life is rough..

A typical day in the life of a hippie (cuz thats what we are for now) consist of ......sleepin in our teepee (remember dont shit in the woods). Waking up at the but crack of dawn cuz ur so effin cold and need to take a pee! Then again at 11 for final wake-up. Afer so we proceed to the local kick ass coffee shop for our quad shot soy drink of somesort. Our biggest stress is figuring out where to shower and do laundry. Also trying to find the bottoms to your swimsuit in the trunk of the jeep that never seems to open no matter how many times you scream FML! We did laundry today. I am almost certian I shrunk your clothes Trav.....My bad! Unless your shirts are small enough to fit a baby squirell. Then what? Lay by the beach? Local farmers market? At night the crew heads back to camp. We sit around the fire. We drink our finest boxed wine. We get in our stinky sweats and fluffy socks. and off to bed......(5 boys 2 chicks). Conventional Teepee fam. Living the dream.......

Teepee

After we had an offer to spend the night in a Tipee, it was hard to get back on the road. Travis also known as "TPT" took us to The huge Tunnels that were tagged with graff. The work was done from artists all over the world. While back at the ranch, aka "Tipee" we made hobo dinners and sat around the fire. Brooke the owner of the pad told the men to go collect fire wood. Al took it upon herself to bust down the entire tree. Eff ya Al wood for the entire night. Thanks TPT for your contribution of two sticks! We learned the what to do's when and if a bear approaches camp. Sleep tight ;)

Lake Tahoe

Thanks to Erick (the local Truckee hippie) we were able to stay at his house with his two roommates Josh and Joe. Yesterday they took us around Lake Tahoe, we stopped and hiked up Eagle Rock, Emerald Bay, and Sand Harbor. This is such a beautiful and peaceful place, the energy is amazing! The Coffee Bar on Jibboom St. is where we ended up this morning. The people here are so killer friendly. We met our new friend Travis the local barista (who kills it with his mad latte art skills)

Truckin

Day 1
One hour into it..stoked! Shay was not aware that it is against the law to cruise in the fast lane for freakin ever(but i knew) we got pulled over. Scariest part was cop escourted Shay to the back of the jeep. " do you know what Truckee is famous for? snowboarding and hiking.. obviously! Apparently it is famous for the transportation of weed, also known as mary jane, marijuana, chronic, reefer, ganja, herb, you get the point. After a "swerving ticket" we kept on trucking. Shay also managed to throw away her last paycheck, thinking it was garbage. 8 hours of driving and we end up in Truckee, CA.
