Vermonty Times Had on the Eastside
At least I still am on the Eastside of something. The Eastside of the Sierras is a great place. There's at least 3 publications about it... Eastside Magazine, Eastern Sierra something... there's more, but I'm typing this in my car and my feet are cold. Wi-fi at home soon? A luxury or a necessity? Necessity when applying to grad school. That aside. Let me ramble.
My roomate, Don, is gone to Peru (hope you're having fun!!!) and I decided why not finally host a couchsurfer. Couchsurfing.com is a great resource. You just have to have a sense of adventure and trust. Both of which I seem to have a majority of the time.
Well, let me tell you as fate would have it, I was contacted by someone who grew up about 60 miles north of me in Vermont. Right now he's stone's throw away in summer on the other side of Yosemite in El Portal doing outdoor education. A career I dabble in from time to time. In winter Tioga Pass is closed, so he's 8 hours away.
We haven't had the best snow after the Snowpowcolypse of 15+ feet of snow- but it doesn't mean there isn't any skiing. It just means you have to wait for the snow to corn up. There's not much avalanche danger at the moment either.
Let's just say I couldn't have had a better time skiing and talking about CA and VT. It made me a little homesick, but it also made me realize HOW MUCH stuff is out there that I still have to do and see.
