Pretty cool little park, dropped into pool coping for the first time. This park had an awesome speed wall!!!!
Ever had the urge to just get away, to see a new place, experience new things? Well thats exactly what we are doing. My name is Jacob, and im living in a 86 Dodge Conversion Van with my good friend Nick. Were traveling all over the United States, visiting old friends, skating all the best skateparks, and just looking for a good time. So take a little time and check out my blog. Who knows, maybe, you might be inspired to do something adventurous.
Help us out!!! Anything helps, even a smile :)

Denver, CO
Arriving in Colorado was a relief, finally some chilly weather. We stayed with my Uncle Mark for a few days and hit some really sick local parks. The downtown Denver park was pretty far from where we were staying so we took the light rail and then the free 16th street mall ride. We would have got lost but luckily there was a cutie on the light rail who was glad to help us out.
Drive to Colorado
From Abilene we drove north on to colorado just thought i would but up a few pictures from the drive
This one is my favorite, looks like something microsoft would set as a default wallpaper for your home computer
Abilene, TX
On our way outta Texas we stopped in Abilene for a couple of days and stayed with Nicks cousin Amanda and her husband Nick. They treated us to a huge BBQ and a nice comfy couch to crash on.

Pedernales Falls State Park
So the next morning after the long night of partying on the beach we decided to drive to Austin to go camp out in Pedernales Falls. Its about 30 minutes outside of the city and i was really surprised how awesome it was. We decided to primitive camp which is hiking to your camp spot. I've never done anything like that before and it was a really good expierence. After making camp the five of us in our group decided to head out and explore the surrounding area. We found the Pedernales River and did a little swimming, and when i say a little i mean, Nick went swimming in the two feet of water in the rappids. It was strating to get dark and we headed back to camp and did the usuall camping thing food, cards, beer, and good conversation. I had no tent so i slept outside, and the stars were amazing. The next morning we did some more exploring and even checked out the actuall falls.
Galveston, TX
Galveston is a really cool little town. Its an island that has plenty of cool shops along the sea wall and beaches for miles. Nick and I arrived in Galveston around noon on 4/9/2011 and went straight to the local skate park for a little sesh. After a few hours of working up a good sweat, we headed to the beach where we swam and hung out for awhile. Nick knew of a place along the sea wall that was a good skating spot. Supposedly a short sidewalk that used the actual sea wall as a quaterpipe. To our surprise the sidewalk was buried in sand and there was no way we were gonna skate it. Instead of finding a good skate spot we spotted some really cute girls down the beach a little ways drinking what looked like beers. We started talking and one thing lead to another and in a few short hours Nick and I were trashed. How lucky right?? It was about seven now and the girls had to go, we said our goodbyes, traded numbers and parted ways. The whole point of coming to Galveston was to meet some of Nicks friends to camp and have a good time on the beach. It was Nick's friend Phillip birthday, and so we met our carvan and found a good spot on the beach to set up camp. It was a good night, and an awesome day. If you are ever close drop by Galveston for the day you wont regret it.
