winter getaway

I finally got out on a road trip!

Spur of the moment saskurbex and i decided to go on a road trip and meet up with another explorer. In 1.5 days we drove 1600km in winter conditions. I never really thought this trip out - we counted on the person we met up with to have some ideas.

What i didn't think about was how i would have to spend a full day trapped into a vehicle with two guys. Literally trapped in the back seat. None the less i was ready to explore and put up with some steady harassment.

Some couple key notes about this trip:
1. i am a poor sport and don't like playing games where i steadily lose (Canadian trivia)
2. i owe saskurbex an apology for almost killing him by pushing him off a train (I'M SORRY!!!!)
3. the weather channel lies in regards to how much wind is outside
4. ski pants are devised to make it hard to climb fences
5. i should purchase a canon camera to share lenses with everyone else
6. don't leave your cell phone in the car in case someone inside a building texts you something important
7. pigeons are evil and should not be provoked with a flashlight
8. don't provoke any animals in general.. especially skunks & porcupines
9. security is a joke
10. spur of the moment road trips are an excellent way to de-stress

high tech security - barbed wire & a board
what the owner failed to notice is there is an open door a couple feet down

going for the thermostat

i dig out the door & he goes in

I hate Canadian trivia too. And pigeons can be provoked with a flash light? That's kinda funny actually. Something I might want to try one day. I don't really like pigeons...well, I hate them actually. And their terrible aim.
But I digress. Have you ever toured around the old bomb shelter (I think) in Sturgis? We sometimes used to walk by what the kids called the "bomb shelter", but never actually went in. I have no idea if it still exists, but it's an idea if you need one.
