Yeah, yeah. I know. I have been away for too long.  Between finishing up the tour, riding rollercoasters, road tripping, visiting, moving, finding jobs, places to live, and playing I havn't had too much time to actually  sit and do this up.  Well, now things are slowing down at least to a medium pace and I have dropped all my myfacecrackbook accounts so I can't get distracted any more.  Here is where it is. 
     So, all of this time has passed and I couldn't figure out where to start so I decided to just go with this week.  Its actually been a pretty exciting week.  I finished up getting settled into my new home here in Flagstaff and the snow started to fall.  Kind of weird knowing that only a couple days before it started I had hiked Mt. Eldon in a t-shirt and running shoes.  But now Flagstaff looks more like this...


    Quite the change from near 50 degree weather.  Monday it snowed like crazy. Tuesday I decided to take the skiis up to the dry lakes to check it out.  What a beautiful day.  I am posting pictures of these adventures on the fliker site.

I know its still not the bike tour but...its the name of the account...anyway....moving on...

    The snow at the dry lakes was deeper than my ski pole is long.  Hard to imagine what it might be like there now.  Since then we have had a whole other storm roll through...plus the one that is happening right now.  The picture above was taken around 9:30 this morning. We have received more than 2 feet on top of that, and now they are saying that the heavy part of the storm has not even hit yet.  I guess that comes tonight.  So what else is there to do other than ski...and well ski.  Town is pretty much shut down.  The interstates on all directions are closed due to one thing or another...so here we are...in Flagstaff.  I think this is one of the very few days of ever living here that I actually have to ski to town...instead of walk.  It is giving me strong flash backs of working in Yellowstone during the winter. 

Anyway...like I said...I will be posting pictures on the flicker site. If you have time cruise though them.  I'll probably keep putting photos up as the snow gets deeper.  And once again...thanks for being patient with the blog.  I have a big goal of keeping up on it regularly from now on.

Take care...and....as Raz would say...

Keep it frosty!
