roadtrip

In about 24 hours I am leaving for a 12 day storm chasing road trip with two cars full of kids and gear. From CB we head to Copper mountain for an Oakley rail event, then it is off to the legendary powder fields of Utah. It's a time when Katie and I have to get in as much quality time as possible without trying to drive each other crazy. I'm running through the lists of what I need and trying to keep myself posted in the present so I can communicate with Katie and not be in deep space. Its an exciting time. We are prepared to drive to CA if we need to. It is a good mission to have. Take kids into some of the best terrain in the world while it is getting bombed with winter storms. I'm almost giddy, but experienced enough to know the kids are going to be knocking on hotel room doors and running, being gross and loud when we eat out, and they are going to get really smelly!! I will miss Katie and our home, the mountain, and my friends, too. But this is the nature of of my job and a compromise I have to live with. There is a land where people drive their expensive cars into the cityscape, cubicles, and business culture everyday. I know its out there, but I'm going to keep the gas on until the land starts to climb to the sky and I'm not stopping until the snow is deep and I am sure there is no cell reception.
