A journey into the west, the self, and beyond

Glenwood Springs

| May 8, 2010

Near the western exit of Glenwood Canyon lies the town of Glenwood Springs. It’s about 3 hours drive from Denver, 1 hour from Grand Junction, and 45 minutes north of Aspen.

West on I-70 to Grand Junction

| March 15, 2010

The next portion of the trip was to drive west on I-70 from Denver to Grand Junction, with a short stop in Glenwood Springs (more info about that town in a subsequent post).

Just wanted to say something that you probably already knew… I rock. I’ve now played Frisbee/Disc golf at 3 of the 5 active courses in Las Vegas. Looks like the first course that I learned to play the game on, Red Ridge Park, is actually one of the nicest courses around. All the fairways are [...]

Frisbee Golf

| February 1, 2010

Probably my favorite sport to play is Ultimate Frisbee, a game very similar to rugby or American football where the object of the game is to pass a frisbee disc to your teammates  from one end of the field down into the opposing end zone. Although there are many leagues where teams practice vigorously to [...]
