Tour de Southwest

I haven't been blogging like I should be but I promise to catch up
this weekend. My mother and I decided last minute to do a road trip
through the southwest US. It's been great and the last two days
promise to carry on the same. Off to Death Valley today for a few days.

Check back in a few days for a daily update and log of the interesting
locations found along the route.

Overland Expo 2011

It's been a hot weekend here in Amado Arizona. The 2011 Overland Wxpo
is winding down and I am in the back of a sportsmobile on my way home
as I write this. It's been a great weekend. I've been able to catch up
with great friends and make some new ones too. I conducted a program
on off road technology that was very well attended and had good
responses. I look forward to coming down again.

DeVotchKa

Friday night, my new friend Johanna and I had a great time at Devotchka. The Belly Up tavern in Solana Beach is a cool small theater, and a great place to see a show. The music was rockin as awlways, and the funky eclectic music was a good reminder of my home. I can't say enough about how nice it is to see great musicians on stage together. No fluff, no washed out sounds, just good old fashioned music.

Hopefully you'll be hearing more about Johanna in future posts:) Also anyone who hasn't heard of the band should check out their music on Itunes.

Overland Expo 2011

Hey everyone. You've probably noticed that I've been off the grid for a while now. Things are going fairly well, but I have been way too busy. A couple of you have asked when I am going to be out in the Colorado area again. Well, I don't know, but I am representing Land Rover at the 2001 Overland Expo April 1-3. I am doing a presentation on new vehicle technology. I've put a lot of effort into making it informative, and interesting at the same time.

So if anyone is down in the Tuscon area, come hit me up. I've never been to the event, but I have heard great things about it. Also, the complete Camel Trophy contention is coming down. They are a great group, and I'd be happy to introduce any of you to them.

Also, I've been working on some trip reports. If anybody needs a support guy this summer, let me know. I am probably going to be available as it turns out.
