I like your thinking...

Have you been to all, yet?

Re: I like your thinking...

Thanks Pvalchev :)
no - definitely not....just something to "keep in mind" when trying to decide how to most efficiently escape bad weather.

You totally inspired me...

I love this idea. I had something like this going on in my head, but putting it down on paper makes more sense and one can actually follow the though process and commit to a actual trip, instead of just day dreaming. On paper it looks totally real and doable...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU... you gave me some "beginning of January" hope :) Well I shouldn't be feeling too desperate-just came back from killer weekend climbing at the Gunks, well killer for January anyway :)
Have fun and good luck chasing the sun...

Re: You totally inspired me...

:) thank you very much - glad to help.

Cheers!

Re: hard to tell

you know how it can be around here (PNW), Michael: bad weather = motivation to find sun :)

Re: hard to tell

Yep! And your willingness to log miles has really paid off with all those desert towers. Way to go, keep it up!

Re: hard to tell

:) thanks Michael but this year looks like even the SW US got quite a bad weather spell (& my willingness to haul is proportional to the temperature gradient).

Wonderful

That's a wonderful drawing Radek, I'll print it for myself. What did you use to draw it?

Thanks for sharing, you put a smile on my face!

Nevada is

the black hole in this one (except for Red Rocks) Actually, Nevada has a lot to offer
as well, one of my favorites states after
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and California. Hmmm, did I leave out Colorado?
Need to get there. Unique maps like this one get us all to dreaming.

Re: Nevada is

Hi Dean,

"Nevada has a lot to offer as well" - I'm sure! This is by no mean a complete list, more like some random ideas that popped into my head while putting it together :) Thanks for visiting Dean.
