How about a non-Burning Man update?
After the burn a hauled to Truckee CA, one of my favorite spots in the country, for some decompression and climbing. Somehow everyone that saw my car assumed that I was at Burning Man...
I met a couple from New Zealand that had also been at Burning Man. We climbed for a couple days together which was a lot of fun. Our last day climbing, we climbed on the same wall as Alex Honnold. To those that climb, you can understand that I felt like a giddy schoolgirl meeting her teen pop idol singer in real life.
Then I headed to the Bay area to visit Erin. She's been living in San Mateo for about 6 months while supervising the remodeling of an Apple store. She thought I wanted to do all sorts of touristy stuff in San Francisco but in reality I wanted to relax and catch up and barely leave the apartment. Thankfully she was on board. Because of this, all I have for photos is us trying to figure out how to use Tarot cards. It was a great time.
Also, a whole gang of college friends happened to be in the area for a wedding. I spent a couple of days following them around and trying to fit in (despite not having a matching hash tag t-shirt). We hit up Redwoods and Crater Lake. I saw both places last year but it's always so much more fun when you're with friends.
I'm now in Bend visiting friends from last year. Hoping to get in some climbing and spelunking and everything else this area has to offer.
