i really dont feel like typing... but i dont want to get to far behind... so ill just sum up my last 4 days of this road trip..

*woke up in colorado springs and took the train up to the top of pikes peak. took about an hour and a half to get up and about the same to get down. saw some cool animals up there and some even better views.

*after pikes peak, we continued out drive to oregon. spent 3 hours driving thru mountians before we reached aspen colorado. that town is very fun to walk around. people are way nice and have awsome shops. i wish i had more then an hour there.

*kept driving and made it to some hell whole in utah. instantly went to bed and woke up and left the next morning. UTAH SUCKS.

*drove thru that god awful state for 5 hours before entering nevada, and that isnt a ton better. both have awsome mountains and dessert, but still boring.

**** interstate 50, the road we took thru utah and nevada is also called "the loneliest road" becuse its perfectly straight for miles and miles and you never see anyone else for hours.

*finally got to reno, nevada and that place was very fun. just walked around the town for a few hours, saw some awsome hotels, and saw some crazy asian circus act.

*got AMAZING sushi at a casino. alittle asian lady name godzilla made it right in front of us and it was the best i have ever had.

*woke up and started the drive in to cali. about 3 hours in we stopped at lassen national volcanic park. drove and walked around a bit and saw some natural springs, and a lake the boils from gas under it. there is also a active cinder cone that we didnt get back to see. it hasnt erupted since 1921 tho.

*keep drive for about 5 hours hours and got to our final distenation... ashland, oregon. this is where my brother is going to art school, and the reason for this crazy trip.

*this town is in the middle of the mountains with a huge natural spring coming right down. over all this town is very pretty and very nice. its about 20,000 people and has a very fun downtown area. there are almost no corperate buisness, the people wont support it. even mcdonalds got shut down a few months ago due to hardly anyone eating there.

*mom and i have just been walking around the town and i have been sitting it the AMAZING park right next to the spring and reading. and we have been sitting at a nice restaraunt drinking martinis.

*** the up side and down site of this town..

- 70% female... and that means that all the girls try hard to get guys attention. and it works. there girls here are beautiful like no other place. and its not that slutty girl look. they are class and way nice. im gonna come visit this place alot.

- so many dirty hippy beggers. its sick how many of there people that they have here. they arent homeless looking people persay. they are just the hippy types that dont take shows and have the long dreds and beg for change while playing guitars and mandolins. i have no problem with this people, becuase my brother is one. and he moved to this town becuase he knew alot of them from shows he goes to. but it wouldnt hurt this people to change thier clothes and take a show, and maybe even get a job. my brother has alreayd been feeding them, and im scared he is gonnag et taken advantage of alot.

*any, went to a shakespere play the other night at the world famous, oregon shakespere festival. it was amazing, i didnt think i would like it that much. it was a play called "the twelfth night". i would love to come back and see other plays here. tickets are between $50 and $100 a night. and it sells out almost everday during its 6 months a year. but this people were amazing actors.

*not much else that is lj worthy, today im not sure what we are doing, but ill let you know if it is cool... ill be back sunday night, maybe ill see some of you..

P.S. next weekend im going to las vegas, so if anyone wants to hang out then call me during the week.
