California, Nevada and Utah

Sunset over the Utah salt flats.

The only thing worth looking at in northern Nevada.

Greetings from Lake Tahoe!

Wow, what's up everyone. It took us 5 or so days to pull ourselves away from the California coast and for a while there I was sure I was not going to leave. Due to a corrupted SD card we have no pictures at the moment of the Cali coast, but I'll recover those files later. For now here's a quick synopsis:

San Fran is the best city ever, we found an organic brewery called the Thirsty Bear that had an incredible nitrogen conditionned stout and an amazing brown ale. We wandered around aimlessly and stumbled on festival that had Union Street closed down. The carnival had vegetarian Gyros and even veggie corn dogs! People drive like jerks on the golden gate bridge...

We drove up 101 through the redwoods toward Eureka until we looked at a map and realized we had no business driving that far north. We turned onto the northern most tip of Rt 1 and started down the most insane road of death-defying turns and cliffs I've ever driven on. We finally found a motel and crashed, where the owner kindly told us a tale of a man he didnt like whose head got eaten off by a great white shark in fort bragg.

We woke up to the most beautiful waves Ive ever seen, sitting on top of some cliffs. The rest of the day is a blur of rocks, waves, seals, surfers, a beach made entirely of sea glass, a great brewery (acme ipa, anyone?), a 2000 year old redwood, and a sense of complete confusion as to why Alex would have ever left Mendicino?!?!

anyhow, we headed west to Lake Tahoe and that's where the pictures can take over:

p.s. I still dont have any idea why this blog formats our posts this way, but the pictures are in reverse order and at the top of the page instead of the bottom.....TOO MUCH GUI-NESS IS FOR SUCKAS!
