Back In The Snow & Outta The City

by joey on Nov.30, 2008, under Fly Fishing

Finally made it home yesterday after a 3 hour flight to Denver where we were met by a snow storm which turned our 2 hour drive home into a 4 hour white nuckle nightmare. Like all trips it is nice to leave and also nice to get back. Amos and I spent the last 4 days visiting our friends Bunk and Georgie in the second most dense place in the country, San Francisco. Day one was rainy so we finished up some last minute Turkey Day shopping, did some driving around and hit up a late day movie; Changeling, which if you haven’t seen it go prepared.

San Francisco has the steepest streets I have ever seen. We did alot of walking around and it was constantly up & down.
