trying to go back up to mount washington this weekend for a "super hike" if you will.
up one side and down the other, camp out, wake up and head back over on some gnarly trails back. if anyone is interested let me know on the book of faces or something.. if anyone talks to sleeper, tell him i want him up there with us!
heres a few random pics from our trip up there 2 weeks ago..
operation ground zero had to be put on hold..there was some problems back in the hometown and i had to head back for the week..im going to be hanging out at dayville skatepark for the next few days winning all the money i can off of the kids playing c-lo. come down and light stuff on fire.
my friend billy has a bus also..i was over his house and we set up a trampoline between our buses and went roof to roof..it was a blast
stuck in the bus in walmart parkinglot with zero dollars and zero gas in the bus and i have to get to cape cod by wednesday... time for operation ground zero!
instead of sitting around trying to figure out what to do, i decide to start the adventure of O.G.Z. If i can get to cape cod i have some work i can do to get the money snowball rolling.. today i pedaled around on my road bike collecting cans into grocery bags i clipped to my back pack. i collected 7 dollars worth..thats 140 cans! stoked!!
i cashed in and bought 2 gallons of gas and headed for the rhode island border..
in the morning im going to test my luck with the cans again..and maybe stand at an intersection asking for change with a sign that says "hit ground zero, trying to get back up".. let the adventure beginnnnn!!!!!!
im sure i can think of a few people that will get a kick out of reading this.....
had some bus troubles on tuesday.. broke down on the side of the road blowing antifreeze everywhere with a blown up water pump. i guess its better it happens now than when im out on the road far away.
my friend the Q-MAN had some family with a farm about a mile up the road so he was able to pull me there to get it off the road until i could get a tow truck.. a truck couldnt come until later in the day on thursday. i did alot of sitting around reading until he came.
the tow from where i was broken down to my dads house was 400 dollars..it was every cent i had to my name after spending 700 dollars to get it on the road. It has basically left me immobilized.
If it wasnt for my father i would have been double screwed..He owns an automotive shop and got me the parts for it and didnt make me pay him yet.. and him and i were up till midnight 2 days in a row working on it to get it running again.
i have never worked on a car before..basic stuff like brakes and oil and tires..but never engine stuff.. it was a nice experience and having the bus has been a huge learning process for me..as of right now im in a rut i have never been in before but i wouldnt change it for anything.. im doing what i have wanted to do for a long time.
Although this has depleted my money supply and i wont be able to drive the bus across the country anymore like i was planning on doing on august 25th. Im still in good spirits and i know the time will come when i will be able to do it.
the bus was dubbed with the new nickname "the bust". for the time being.
i call this little number "the summer time twist ending"... you think its a human but its a dinosaur..
brought to you in shitty definition
above the tree line the view is beautiful..not that the trail wasn't beautiful, but with a clear day and visibility for miles..being that high up in the white mountains is a treat..you would be surprised how long of a hike it is to the top after you get above tree line..
we stopped about halfway up and boiled up a full package of hot dogs
i took two panoramic pics at less than half way up..mt washington summit is just to the right of billys head. the view just from half way up is gorgeous already
once we got to the top we didnt bother to take a pic of the summit sign because it was swarmed with people trying to get their picture next to it because they had just drove their car up it.. something aboutchicks in mini skirts and flip flops standing next to the summit sign of the highest peak in the northeast just makes me laugh.. instead i took a picture of all their cars in the parkinglot
