Backcountry Yosemite N.P.

Mt. Hoffman.

Backcountry map check.

Go to Yosemite but don't go to the Yosemite Valley until you've sampled the backcountry. Get out of the crowded tourist infested valley, take your backpack, bear spray, bear proof canisters, some camping gear and get lost. It is literally unbelievable. The granite formations guarantee to blow your mind. We climbed Mt Hoffman which is just shy of 11000feet, from up there you can literally cast your eyes over the whole park.
If only I had a decent camera to do this place justice!
Kinda glad I don't but in a way, its one of those places you really need to go and see for yourself.

People of America...

The Homeless in Colorado...

God Bless America.

Warped Tour. Soundwave whatever...

The Kings of Long Island Patty and Muff
Party with these guys be prepared to lose your car, sanity, girlfriends and not turn up to work until Wednesday. You'd be crazy not to.
Legends.

New York City...

Central Park, the place where quiet times amidst 8.3million people can still be found.

Brooklyn Bridge

Maryn Azoff American Idol sensation schooling me in how to hold a note.

I love NYC.

It was summer time July/August 2010 and it was HOT!
I love NYC, anything is possible here, where else can you walk in off the street to a random bar pick up a guitar and play a set and have a lovely girl from American Idol backing you?
The musical talent in NYC amazed, even the guy drumming on upside down buckets in the subway was insanely talented, if he had a real kit screw the band I would be paying to just see him play the skins.
The pizza in New York is legendary it quickly became part of my daily diet. Haven't been able to take another pizza seriously since eating it here. Nothing compares.
Central Park was awesome, it was cool to find that in a city of over 8.3million people you could still find a quiet corner of a park to yourself.
I largely have my friend Andy to thank for the NYC good times, I hadn't seen Andy for 5 years since he was in Australia circa 2005, the lad put me up at his family home and took me out on the town each day after he finished work and showed me round the city he calls home. What a legend.

Cross Country America...

There is so much to see and do in America, you could continuously travel this country for a year on end and not come close to seeing it all!
I saw what I could in 8 weeks. What I saw was good.
I must have looked hungry a lot of the time every where I went people fed me, even sitting on top of a lookout at Zyon canyon some nice girls offered me their dried fruits. Not to mention the amazing steaks Cristina's Dad cooked for me. Plus the lobsters Muff's Mum threw down for us. Even the rad burger bar where all the famous people hang that Andy took me to. Americans really love food. I have never talked about food so much as I did in America. The reality was Americans are generous and accommodating to no end.

God bless America.
