I’m excited for everyone to come into Queenstown for the big event! This is the first place I took Curtis, Karen, and Scott after we arrived. It’s along Jack’s Point right down by the lake. It was actually one of the first time I took my truck a little bit off road too!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post on the Stuck in Customs blog.
Utah was the best place for my inner geology nerd to come out to play. Back at university, I had a double-major in Computer Science and Geophysics. I dropped the latter because I had a fight with the professor. Here's the story. Note it wasn't a fist-fight, but I considered it. I really just chose that subject because I've always had an interest in Geology and I just love rocks. Who knows where that comes from? Is it a childhood trauma thing where my parents threw rocks at me? Perhaps. Anyhoo, I was in a graduate-level class and I spent a few weeks in the desert near the Grand Canyon to do some nerdy geological mapping. I worked really hard on it, and, being a bit artistic, I had by far the most beautiful. map. So, the professor ended up giving me a C-! I went to him, and I was like WTF bro! This is amazing! And he said because I was the youngest in a class of nine, he gave me the lowest grade because he only gives out one A+, one A, one A- -- you get it. I was like, fuck this guy... so I quit out of spite, but it never diminished my love of rocks. It only further diminished my dislike of the university system. Canyonlands National Park, Utah
I saw this amazing place in Stuck On Earth and I simply had to visit! I mapped out my whole trip to Utah and was sure to include this. It was unclear if it was right by the side of the road or if I needed to walk. You never really know unless you read the description, and sometimes (okay, often) I am lazy. Like when I went to visit the Delicate Arch, I had no idea I had to hike for an hour in the burning summer sun to see it. That’s two hours round-trip for those of you scoring at home. Anyway, I was happy to find that this remarkable structure below was plainly visible by the side of the road… and it looked great from the front and the rear. Utah
