Canyonlands
So Bottels and I were talking at the LAN Party and came up with the simple idea to go backpacking sometime. The next day we had committed to going to Canyonlands over his spring break. Sweet! Over the next few weeks our two-person trip grew to four, then six people. The people going changed a couple times, but at the end of it all, it was me, Brigson, John, Erica, Alyssa, and Apollo in an Astro Van headed across Nebraska towards the desert. We had a great time from March 11 through 18 and all of us came back alive.

I've got all the pictures here, sorted by day so you can follow our shenanagins from start to finish. We also have a few memorable quotes from the trip at the bottom of the page here. A lot of them are out of context, but that just makes them funnier. If you have any questions, email me.

Enjoy! - Jason

 

Here's some quotey goodness for you. I admit that most of it is out of context, and no I won't explain it.

 

Someone: "Why don't you go to the bathrooms with running water?"
Chris: "I prefer the plop."

Alyssa: "I have the frickin crotch area - I can't pee in the bush!"

Alyssa: "Somebody has to grope my leg soon!"

Alyssa: "It's like pop rocks!"

Alyssa, to Chris: "I might use you later, so get used to it."

Alyssa: "I'm mounting you!"

Alyssa: "I can be a drunken hooker if you want."
John: "..."

Alyssa: "You don't flick it you blow!"
Apollo: "It's not my fault you put your poker in my face!"

Chris: "It's like 3 feet long!"

Chris: "Because I'm fuckin' Billy Bad Ass that's why!"

John: "I'm so glad I can pee on trees."

Erica: "Who eats like this? Shit."

Jason or John: "Why the hell would a blind person be out here?"

Jason: "Fuckin Mormons!"
