Bridge

I am really into this picture I took of a bridge I drove over while in San Francisco.

Twilight Concert: phantogram + ghostland observatory

Phantogram: came late but still caught a few songs. Glad I was introduced to these guys

Ghostland Obsersvatory: epileptic seizure inducing lightshow. Really cool performance and fun show. Lots of jumping and pushing around so I almost lost my glasses twice. Had a fog machine running and all the grass is dead so there was a ton of dust that we breathed in. Nose and throat are all irritated

Should have taken a picture but I was afraid of losing my phone in all the chaos.

Twilight festival: The Decemberists

Wow! So much fun! Loads of fun energy. This was much more fun than last week was glad for sure I cam up and was glad to have the fun with my friends. I even went crowd-surfing! It happened faster than I thought it was. Felt like too many people touched me when I was done

Twilight Festival: Explosions In The Sky

I will have to say this probably wasn't my most favorite concert that I have been to. Lost of moshing and pushing! I can't handle that stuff I am just a tender guy who wants to enjoy some music without having to worry about falling over and getting stomped on.
Hopefully the next twilight concert will be a little more relaxed

Hike - Rock Canyon

road trip ideas

many people say Utah is "such a boring place" but if you know where to look Utah has great natural wonders and unbeknownst to me home to some interesting oddities inlcuding

•  Pando, the Trembling Giant: World's oldest and most massive living organism
•  Modern day Egyptians who actually practice mummification
• 5,000 square foot home carved directly into rock  that even sports a petting zoo
• largest deposit of trilobites found in the world

Day one

Mystery spot, beach, albino redwood. All in all day one being 22 was great looking forward to what the rest of the year brings

Mystery spot
This place is supposed to be filled with strange unexplaned anomalies but just ended up being a tourist trap with a bunch of optical illusions which actually turned out to be pretty fun

Beach
Too windy and cold to actually get in the water so sam and I just ended up hanging out on the beach watchinh the waves come in. Saw some cool animals in some tide pools. Afterwards we grabbed some really great asian fusion food that was all vegetarian and really yummy

Albino redwood
So there are pretty much like less then a hundred (probably less) of these things in the world so it was really neat to have the chance to be able to see such a rarity of nature in real life
