An Epic Meetup
Last week was pretty good. Naah, epic actually. One of my great friends Pasquale D’Silva from Australia (now in Vancouver) finally hopped on a plane and came to visit for a week in Cody, WY.
We got to marvel at tumbleweeds (apparently mystical to Aussies), take a giant roadtrip through Yellowstone and into Jackson,wrestle with bears, walk through heaps of snow, fine-tune my Aussie accent, delve into a pitch-black cave, laugh at cowboy hats, bake little creatures in the oven1, pillage McDonald’s like Vikings, geek out, and all sorts of other awesome.
Day 3: Pasquale about to follow Brandon into a shimmy over a decent-sized drop in Spirit Mountain cave. Unfortunately we weren’t able to find “The Descent” creatures down there…
Also, I finally got to witness how the illustrating fiend can draw any creature (real or imaginative) in thirty seconds flat… even on the back of the car.
At Old Faithful: A remedy for the hiding bears…
The only disappointment of the trip was not getting to see a real bear—the January-like wintery conditions probably didn’t help. Anyways, it’s sure going to be hard to say “snow” without pronouncing it as “snaaaar” now…
Twas a totally awesome time! Now to make it up to Vancouver sometime!
Video: Some random highlights... Especially random at 00:45!
The Commentary
Dude, this was the most fun I’d had in a long, long, long time. And I have lots of fun with Lis – so that’s really sayin’ something.
I loved that it snowed so hard when I got there for no reason, and you scoring gunpowder from your uncle.
Next time we are going to have to do some ‘gardening’.
Looks like a good time. I gotsta remember to record video on future adventures. It’s so worth it.
