Wildlife

I saw a parrot, turkey vulture, and a rabbit on my bike ride this morning. Wild parrots in Bakersfield.. who would've thought??

Mammoth

I survived a week in Mammoth with my entire family (on my mom's side). It was nice to be able to hang out with everyone. Last week was filled with events. We fished, hiked, did some mountain biking, played cards, stayed up to watch Phelps win gold medals... Everything was good except the fishing. Katie caught 2 fish her six casts (4 made it to the lake and the other 2 found a tree). Neither were keepers, but it was entertaining to watch her reel them in. I wasn't as lucky. Mountain biking was awesome too. It was kinda chilly and really windy at the top. My cousins and I rode off the top and down to the main lodge then too the gondola back up to mid-chalet and took a different path back to the village. It was a solid 3.5 hours on the bikes.

Round Mountain

Here's a picture of my bike ride this morning. Enjoy! and be glad it wasn't you doing it. This shits tough. I had a tire blow out and another flat before I even started. This was my 5th ride this week (3rd morning in a row) and my legs were dead before the last climb of the day, "rattle snake." (a hill that's true to its name)
