The Big Road Trip

So Tomorrow myself and good Friend Zach Adams (along with his dog Lona) will be embarking on a cross country journey starting in central Pennsylvania and ending in Jackson Hole Wyoming.  The journey itself should be interesting, google maps says about 30 hours and approximately 2,000 miles, and we are planning on driving straight through.  The plan in order to accomplish this is to have one person sleeping while the other drives and just keeping going till we get there, but some caffeine and good music I'm sure will be in order.  Then we will get out there and do.....well we know what we want to do but don't have an exact plan.  Some ideas include but not limited to; cross country ski, downhill ski, snowshoe, catch some local culture, take some pictures of local wildlife (hopefully some moose), drink some good local beer, and then.....sounds like a plan huh?  I'm defiantly stoked about this trip, its been a long time since I have been out that way and it will be cool if we can see some of Yellowstone National Park in the snow.  
 
The plan is to keep a log of the trip here on my blog as we go and post some pictures in the process.
 
Well that's all I can think to write for now.  Now its just time to finish getting ready and prepare to hit the road!!

What I Have Learned Working in The Funeral Service

       As most of you, but not all of you, know I have worked at a funeral home in York Pennsylvania now for just over 6 years. I started working at the funeral homes in the fall of 2015 and have continued to work and grow with the firms, even to the point that I am currently enrolled at Pittsburg Institute of Mortuary Science in order to work towards earning my Funeral Directors License in Pennsylvania. I know I have not posted on my blog for a while, but I figured I would share my experiences so far and what I have learned (and no I am not going to share any gross or gruesome stories, that’s not what this is about).         How did I end up working at a funeral home? In mid-2015 I was living at an old farmhouse what was also for sale, and one day I just happened to meet the owner of the funeral homes I work at today while he was looking at the property. We began to talk and eventually became friends. As we talked and he learned that I was previously a volunteer firefighter

Racing in the Lone Star State

     So I came down to Texas to do a bike race and even though at first I was skeptical of the whole idea of traveling that far for a race, in the end it was worth it.  The race was this Sunday and Zach and I drove 26 hours south down from Pennsylvania to Texas to take part in Mellow Johnny’s Classic MTB race just outside of Dripping Springs Texas.  You may ask why the hell drive all the way down to Texas for a bike race?  Well the bike race was an excuse to come down here and gave us a destination, and once we leave he we will continue to travel the gulf coast and slowly take a week to work back up to good ol’ Pennysltucky and see places I have never seen and visit places I would never normally go too so Win-Win!     Yesterday Zach and I got pre-ride the course and check it out, and it was an awesome course!  I have only ridden mountain bike on the east coast and as much as I love it, it was good to see some new type of terrain and trails types.  On the east coast on the Appalachian
