Last week I took a well deserved Road Trip with a buddy of mine. The impetus for the trip was a math conference I was planning on attending in Salt Lake City. (Math Conferences attract school districts and teachers, who in turn attract publishers, who in turn attract freelancers. See? The world does make sense!) My friend who is a salesman makes a pass by that direction on his route and we decided to combine expenses and drive down together. At the last minute the people I wanted to meet and greet at the conference pulled out and I was left with a road trip to nowhere. Instead of scratching it off my plate, we decided that a buddy trip was long overdue and reason enough to hit the pavement.

One of our stops was Twin Falls Idaho. Ironically The actual waterway “Twin falls” is damned down to a trickle for agricultural reasons. However, Shoshone falls is just up river and part of the same canyon system that is carved by the Snake River. When the spring thaw starts to hit, the falls are an explosion of water. Last week however it was biter cold and the wind was blowing down through the canyon at a clip to make eyes water. No thaw in sight. But the falls was still pretty awesome … so I took a picture

(No you can’t see the rest of the pictures. It was a guy trip. Hotel rooms, Cheeto’s in the bed, urinating in milk jugs, room service, and unabashed testosterone driven mayhem.)
