Directions

You can get to the reception from a few different roads. From either direction, there should be signs, balloons, and or clowns for you to follow. Mapquest also helps. Google maps isn't accurate, but Google is still awesome.

If you are coming from North Ogden:

Drive over the divide/pass and into the valley until you get to 3500 E. It is the only stop sign you will encounter as you stay on the road from North Ogden. Turn right at 3500 E. Follow the road for about 2 miles. The road will gradually turn to the left. Once the road is heading due East, the reception will be about 1/2 - 1 mile down the road on the left side. Look for the tall trees lining the driveway and the house set off the road.

If you are coming from Ogden:

Get on 12th street and head East. This road will take you directly up Ogden Canyon. Follow the signs to Wolf Mountain Ski Resort. Once out of the canyon you will see Pineview Dam. On the west side of the dam you want to take a left at UT-158. Stay left at the fork in the road. Turn left once you reach the 4-way stop. Follow this road for about 4 miles. Our house will be on the right side.

If you are coming from Mountain Green/UT-84:

Take the Mountain Green exit from the East or West, depending on where you are coming from. Follow the signs that direct you to Snowbasin and Powder Mountain. You will be directed to Trappers loop which takes you into the Valley. Once over Trappers Loop, turn left at UT-39 (900 E.) Turn right on UT-158 which is at the West end of the dam. Stay left at the fork in the road. Turn left once you reach the 4-way stop. Follow this road for about 4 miles. Our house will be on the right side.

Hopefully these directions help and we'll see you there!

Bridals + Groomals = Broomals

We took our Bridals and Groomals last night at the SLC Temple and the Peace Gardens. Brooke, the photographer, posted this jem as a sneak preview later that night. Two words: awe some.

Fuel

In-N-Out is awesome. If you say you don't like it you're a liar. You
just want to seem unique and different but when it comes down to it,
you're just a liar.

Too Hot For The Hot Tub

Eff that

Getting High

The only thing we smoke is Salmon.

Boardwalk & Park Place

We just logged about 3 miles on the boardwalk. Best place to people
watch ever. Honorable mentions: card man, jugs, handstand skating old
man, the brazilians, greased up deaf girl, and many others who weren't
awesome enough to make the blog's honorable mention.

Homey doing the skateboard handstand was at least 65 years old making
the youngn's look bad.

Nate got to bust out his portugese on the brazilian hottie (mainly hot
because she was carrying a surfboard) and her family.

Also not to forget, we talked Miker into chatting up some hotties
earlier today on the beach. Yeah, they were 15. Awkward.

SPF 0

You may not be able to see in the pic but I have a twoface sunburn/tan
from falling asleep on the beach. Oops.

Bruticus Maximus

We jammed out at the baller version of the Flowrider on Mission Beach.
We chilled with our new friends Kami, Dex, and Chris, who manage
properties all over the world and want to hook us up next time we come
back so we can actually shower and have a place to sleep. We've been
making friends all weekend. Last night we got hooked up with a fire
pit, smores, hot dogs and condiments, birthday cake, and lighter
fluid. It's just how we do.

Spec Protec

Jared had a simple problem of his sweaty brows dripping sweat into his
badazz specs. This is his simple solution.

Everyone thought he was a terrorist.

Sun Protection

This is why you have someone else apply sunscreen to your back...

Yeah, and this is only from one day.

Rolling Comfort

It's like therolling massagers and Brookstone, except the whole bed
rolls...

Dream Zone

Nate, Bell, and I snuggled right here with natures dryer doin work on
our schwag!

5 Start Hotel

The campground was full so we set up camp at the best most happy place
ever, The Encinita Stake Center. The one place we couldn't really get
crap. Our hi bishop, here are our recommends... Boom!, free camping.

Mike & Ike set up their hammocks between the handrail and the
lightpost. The sprinklers came on right when they went to bed but for
only a few minutes. The temporarily relocated then went back to the
front line. The sprinklers came back on in the middle of the night,
but it was a different battle. Mike didn't even move. He tougher it
out and got soaked in the name of hanging comfort. Either the spirit
guided Ike, or maybe his confused unconscience, to the curb by our
sleeping bags. We woke up in the morning to Ike laying on the concrete
with a sheet over him and being genuinely confused and kindof scared
about how he got there.

We all slept surprisingly well and got a nice dose of the spiritual
blessing while loitering on church grounds. It's good to know our
tithing has basically earning permanent emergency camp sites in time
of need and sleepiness.

Greasy & Surfy

16 Passenger Van
8 Homeys
Mad Luggage
And 4 Surfboards jammed in between windows and bench seats.

Awesome.

Heaven

After I basically pulled an all-nighter minus two hours of bumpy
sleep, I feel surprisingly awesome today.

After driving around looking for somewhere to camp (no dice), we
rented some surfboards and mounted up on the beach in Carlsbad.
Perhaps the most relaxing, chill day in the history of the beach.

Miker Pantone wins the award for determination and beatings given by
waves.

We're just headed out from Ralph's going to Moonlight beesh to make s
fire to cook our pre-prepared Cilantro Lime marinated Salmon
accompanied by a light but filling ceasar's salad. Thanks and props go
to Lindzi Bell "LBZ", the crew mom. Without her we'd propably be
malnurished with myself facedowb in a gutter due to a sugar-induced
coma. Thanks for keeping me alive Lindz!

Tonight we're going to sleep wherever we can rest our bodies without
being arrested, raped, mugged, or raped. Most likely a church parking
lot. We all served missions, we've earned emergency lawn time.

Yo Yo Gurr

Glen Oaks Drinkable Yogurt makes the world go round. This is all.

No Regrets

We figured that we had to do something we wouldn't normally do and may
regret like run naked past a police station, rob a bank, maybe flash
our boobies at unsuspecting females.
You know, the usual.

So I woke up after my deep two hour 5hour energy crash to this still
brisk tall boy on my lap. Thanks Bell.

Completely Wired

With the assistance of 5 hour energy I was like a racehorse on crack
making the drive to San Jorge with the precious cargo of 8 bright
young souls.

I stopped driving at 5 and let Jared drive. I had a 5hour energy crash
at 5:30. Hard.

Dysfunkshunal

We put the fun in dysfunctional!

The plan was to leave at 7:30. So naturally it's 1:00am and we're in
Provo.

We've already had to ship Chalee her house, car, and spare car key
overnight fedex from Provo to SLC for $17.50. Nice.

Now we're having CNGific technical difficulties.

We went in for energy drinks at the gas station. Mike Pantone buys
milk. Which is why we love him!

San DiAgo Roadtrip Begins!

You know we be rollin 16 passengers deep! CNG gangsta wagon! So it
begins...

The Morning After

I'm assuming this is what I will look like on the morning of July
31st. Maybe a bigger smile though...

This is post City of Rocks Trip. 6:00am-2:00am of rock climbing
goodness.
