Fremont Indian State Park

Field trip!


Description
During construction of Interstate 70, ruins from a large ancient Fremont Indian village were uncovered. This museum was built to preserve treasures from the site, including pottery, baskets and arrowheads. The ancient people decorated many nearby cliff walls with unique rock art. Spend a few hours at the museum, tour the rock art sites and then camp at nearby Castle Rock Campground.
Location
Approximately 180 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Located 21 miles southwest of Richfield on Interstate 70.

San Diego Road Trip

May 9th-13th, 2012

ITU World Triathlon San Diego

I took a little break from the everyday grind to go support my friend, Paul, who was doing his first Olympic distant triathlon. Our friend, Jonathan, also joined us on this fun little road trip. While we were there, we also watched the women's and men's pro races as well for the Olympic qualifications.

One of the stops along the way was Alien Fresh Jerky in Baker, CA.


Making peace with the aliens.

I wanted to know what aliens tasted like... Yup, tastes like beef jerky!
