Flume Trail in Lake Tahoe

2014-07-31T21:53:00.000-07:00

Living in the Lake Tahoe area for the last eighteen years and never exploring the Flume trail really disappoints me. Fortunately, today a friend and I finally got the chance to explore this amazing trail. Okay let’s get down to it. So we began out journey at the Spooner lake trailhead and continued along the 4-mile trail to Marlette Lake; however, I am pretty sure the last mile of the climb is a 20% grade. After sweating out maybe five pounds, Marlette Lake finally presents itself. A short snack break took place to celebrate the conquering of the horrible journey up to this point, and then we were off. The last ten or so miles are fairly easy as they are mostly flat or downhill single track. We ended our journey with some smoothies at the Tunnel Creek Cafe, which resides at the end of the trail in Incline Village.

The 10 miles of the ride consisted of amazing views such as this!

Jax, my loyal co-pilot has been with me for 17 years! I will be extremely sad when he's gone.

Floating the Truckee river

2014-07-14T18:14:00.001-07:00

Hmmm...well I guess I should update this thing more often. Everything has been pretty much the same, just busy with school considering this is my last semester (hooray). So I'll be trying my best to update this frequently as I will have some extra free time soon. Anyways yesterday some friends and I decided to go float the Truckee river since it has been so freaking hot lately.

Sunset while leaving Lake Tahoe

2012-01-05T21:13:00.000-08:00

I shot the sunset with my Go Pro hero camera The weather around Lake Tahoe has been beautiful lately. Even though it's the beginning of January and there is supposed to be at least a couple feet of snow; i am not complaining though.

Ready for winter break

2011-12-14T19:41:00.000-08:00

Just got done with my last final! what a relief. Now i get to spend the next 3 weeks not worrying about any homework, and snowboarding all the time; if we ever get any snow.

Winter has begun

Life...

2011-11-30T21:24:00.001-08:00

Oh wow i haven't been on here for a long time. I guess thats what happens when you get caught up in life, and are extremely busy with school. Speaking of school; i only have 3 weeks left until the semester is over and i can focus on snowboarding for the month of winter break. Well lets see whats been going on with me lately, i had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled about 3 weeks ago, i bought a new Subaru Wrx, and i got a raise at work, so everything is finally starting to look up. Here are some pictures of the events that have been unfolding these last couple weeks.

Some pictures of Lake Tahoe

Some pictures of Lake tahoe which is about 20 minutes away. This place is extremely beautiful, there is always something to around here no matter if its in the summer or winter. This is a place we like to go to since it has a bunch of rocks to jump of off, and you can bring dogs. It is right up the road from Sand Harbor

2011-07-01T19:49:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately the night before i forgot to mention i fractured my foot doing a flip at the Sydney Opera House ( which was really stupid of me), but the next day we all woke up early and met up with my dad and followed him and his friend to the Blue mountains. This place was extremely beautiful, and i cannot wait to go back and visit.

Alright so the next morning we left Brisbane really early and made our journey back to Sydney to Meet me friends at the airport that were finally on their way. So fast forward through all the driving and actually arriving at the airport. My three friends Chris, Shawn, and Austin arrived at Sydney Airport after their flight from Dubai. After getting all their luggage we rented a car and drove to our house that we had rented for our week in Sydney. We rented a really nice 5 bedroom house in Coogee Beach which had a full kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a pool and hot tub, it was well worth the money. Upon arriving at the house i was immediately drawn to the trophy room the owner had, he had souvenirs from Lance Armstrong, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods, and much more.
After a quick shower and unpacking our luggage we ventured out into downtown Sydney to eat dinner and meet with Tommy (a friend of mine who lives their who i had met in Lake Tahoe while he was over seas working at a ski resort) and check out some of the local clubs. We went to a really nice restaurant and each had decided to try something different, which i had ordered the kangaroo since it was pretty much a once in a lifetime thing for me. I thought that it had tasted fantastic, kinda like lamb. After that we left and headed for Ivy Bar which was amazing! We only waited in line about 5 minutes, and once we got in their the atmosphere was very relaxing and chill. The dance floor had huge open area in the ceiling to let all the air in so you wouldn't get to hot dancing around, and there was a really nice lounge area next to it so you could just kick back and relax. We finally made it back home and passed out instantly and we were excited for what kind of adventures we in store for us the rest of the trip.

After leaving Coff's Harbour we drove up to Brisbane to meet a family friend who is going to school there and to stay for the night before making our way back down to Sydney in the morning. We met up with our friend Yasmin and went out to eat at a turkish restaurant and try some of the beer. The meal was delicious, and we headed to the ferry boat before heading back to the hotel to catch up on some sleep. While waiting for the ferry i decided to try and take some photos of the city Skyline with my Go Pro camera which turned out fairly well.
