Snowizona?

I know what you are all thinking... "Snow in Arizona? That can't be right!" But believe you me, it snows in Arizona and I have the pictures to prove it!

There is also fog, this is looking down into the canyon from the rim.

Stats of 2016

I know that a lot of people have not enjoyed 2016, but I had a quite a year! There were a couple spontaneous road trips, on motorcycles and in the truck, learning new skills and gaining new employment, making new friends and reuniting with old and generally having a pretty great time along the way. So here we go, a look back to 2016...

In 2016 I traveled...
15,984 miles in total between one truck and two motorcycles
12,273 miles driven in the BGT (Big Green Truck)
3,604 miles with Olive my Triumph motorcycle (including one fantastic road trip to arches)
107 miles on my old bike Debbie before I sold her to a good friend, I know she's in good hands
Countless miles in the buses of Park City Transit

In 2016 I flew...
5 different kinds of aircraft, learning how to fly a tailwheel aircraft and a twin otter
277 hours in various conditions and did 247 landings (some on grass strips)
to 5 different states and around 15 airports I had never been to
and got paid for it for the first time!

In 2016 I lived...
in Utah, Nevada and Arizona
in 4 different houses
in the coolest attic room ever in my best buds house
in my truck only occasionally

In 2016 I...
read 54 books some old, some new
pooped 380 times averaging just over 1 a day
weighed at most 204 and least 178
almost made it to the bottom of Meadows Hot Spring
a pretty great year!

So Happy New Year to you and yours!

Overall, not a bad year.
