Update on my summer life

Summer is going great so far. The Utah/Idaho Trip kicked butt. I've got so many stories to tell from that trip I wouldn't even know where to start. Basically the usual roadtrip stuff happened like getting the truck stuck and loosing gear out of the bed of the truck. Antonios sleeping bag got run over by a Tahoe but it's still in one piece. Ok, other stuff that happened. Ben fed a bunch of chipmunks and had a crazy hairdo, Chad dropped his ATC from a 400 foot climb and ripped all pants he owned, Mallori said "Hey Bunny" to every bunny we saw and scared us by flipping upside down on a 5.10 fall, Antonio did everything from running around the Provo Movie Theater with a Helmet and acting retarded to loosing to Chad in "War" and then drinking a bowl of warm, grassy beer with ants. We met girls from Maine in Utah that met Tech Buddy Nate Reynolds in Yosemite, California. Derrek, a Tech Graduate, owns a gear shop in Provo and bolted the majority of routes at American Fork, Maple Canyon and Rock Canyon and is featured in the "Urban Climber" Magazine and we met him too. Btw I think we are all moving to Provo. Their mall is super cool cause you can see snowcaped mountains while sitting in the food court. They have climbing within 5 minutes, they have a cool gym and they drive Stretch Minivans. I think that was one of the most hilarious things. An old white Dodge Stretch Caravan is not was you see every day. How we ended up in Idaho I don't really know. I mean I do cause we went climbing at Castlerock and City of Rocks. The Multipitch was really fun. The town Almo on the other hand was just hilarious. It consisted of a General Store, a Tavern, 4 houses and a Doublewide Trailer Bed & Breakfast. It was simply great. After we got back I chilled for a couple of days and now my daily route consist of teaching little kids how to climb at Sports Camp from 8 til 12, then I eat lunch and at 2 I swim at the pool and climb. Then the rest of the day I again just chill. And on weekends I go climbing. I just love summer.
