Viva Las Red Rocks

Flagstaff is nice – it’s a small college town; it reminds me a lot of Morgantown – I could live here – there’s a big mountain in the background, bouldering, a lake…a bunch of coffee shops? Yah – this place is SWEET.

The drive to Red Rocks (Vegas) wasn’t so bad….Vegas – I got bored really quick. I figured that I’d be tired enough that I could make some stupid financial decisions and waste 100 bucks – but well…yah I guess I wasn’t tired enough…instead I just walked maybe a mile or two down the main drag – parking in Circus Circus, walking through the Mirage, Ceasar’s Palace – a few others…It was cool – lots of people to read, analyze and catalog. Here was the street breakdown:

53 percent AARP discount
22 percent Japanimation!
10 percent standard family
9 percent “Would you like fries with that/pretty watch for pretty girl”
6 percent “Spare some change? A free meal?” (This is where I fit in)
4 percent “Carries a gun for my benefit”
2 percent “Carries a gun NOT for my benefit”

OK its 635 and I’m antsy – going bouldering

----after bouldering---

A good session – I ran into a local cat – Andrew – who was super cool – bouldered with him in the morning….the rock is cool – it reminds me a lot of the mills actually – not the look – but the texture..though softer….I found a nice public library to hang out in …

The bouldering here is good – though not so much of it – I’m hoping to do a bouldering rampage next winter – a road trip with the video camera – and Vegas will be a stop for a day or two…no more…unless of course – I get shown some of the “new” stuff Andy was talking about… =)

For lunch, I had a bagel with Avocado and humus….pretty good =)

I’m gonna hang out here and either head to Bishop tonight after dinner or tomorrow morning…
