Modoc Rocks!

In class, I had my Earth Science students do a worksheet on a brochure called "Modoc Rocks!" Basically it was about all the geological hot spots in Modoc county, and since I will be here a little bit long and the weather was seemingly nice, I thought I would take a couple friends on the tour. Here is what happened. (Baby Kangaroo and Koala, both thought we would get stuck. Well, guess what, girls don't get stuck, because we aren't stupid!)

We stopped at a cemetery in Davis Creek, and I thought this tombstone was super cool with these flowers. That stop didn't last very long as it was balls cold out.

On the way to our first and second stop, we drove a long a dirt road, which turned to a muddy road, which then turned into a few feet of snow. Never having got to our first two spots (spots 2 and 3 because we actually skipped going to spot 1 - it was a resource office or something), we got out of the Jeep for a little nature time anyway. The Warner Mountains have a lot to offer.

The view coming down the mountain was pretty sick as well.

On the way to spot 4 we saw a derailed train, that has been there for several years, but apparently it has been a long time since I have been on that highway and I thought it was the coolest thing since railed trains.

Spot 4 was Chimney rock, this picture is of the surrounding rocks.

At one time a cabin was built in to this rock, and it has all the names of the people who were traveling through at the time it was made.

Ash likes to climb.

This is a pretty sick pic, I think at least.

Sorry for the finger....but you get the point.

This was a really beautiful day!

I can't believe I was the only one without holes in my jeans. THAT never happens! I just noticed that everyone has the big hole on the left knee...that is totally the same in all my holey jeans! Weird.

I also forgot to wear my boots. I suck at this trip.

We found a bridge.

I just find this hilarious! Hahahaha, good one.

Then what happened to us, was a series of unfortunate events, like we ran into more snow and weren't able to get to like 7/10 places on the tour. Although, we didn't get to see the sites on the tour, we still saw a lot of cool things. Also, we made it out without injury and WE DIDN'T GET STUCK! Yay, us. But I guess it was a nice car ride, good thing my mom had tissue in the Jeep, because we had to pee in the woods several times. At least I got an ice cream!

When we got home Ash got a tattoo!!!!

I feel like if we go on this tour again when there is no snow and the roads are accessible, I will write more about how each spot was formed and crap like that so I feel like a real teacher. For being a teacher, I mostly just feel like I am the one that is learning. Perhaps if you view yourself as student of life, you will always have something to gain, and the more you experience the more you can teach.

So, as you might have noticed I have been slacking a lot on my blogging. I blame it on traveling, work, not sitting in front of the computer, and also that I have not had my laptop in a long time. Well, guess what ladies and gentlemen, I now have my computer back and I intend to make use of it. Starting tomorrow I am hoping to be back at my normal 3-4 blogs per week and also take you through the glorious process of moving/finding a job all while still maintaining the crazy things I do in the mean time. As for right now I am drawing and listening to records, so expect tomorrow's blog to be full of all things good and rocky! (Foreshadow, hint, hint, foreshadow...) Oh, and I am trying to convince my students to make a music video, so if you have a song suggestion, let's hear it!

P.S. A woman over the age of 60 called me "lady," I could be here granddaughter! LADY YOURSELF GRANDMA! Or if you must call me lady, at least call me "Lady Rara."

P.S.S. THERE WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING!!!! NOT LIKE A LITTLE LIKE OVER AN INCH....WTF IT"S MAY!

This program is brought to you by these commercial messages.

Sunday afternoon Mai Tai's were brought to you by boredom and sunshine.

We also felt the need to throw some shoes around. Because 01: I need to practice, so I don't disgrace myself in front of my family and 02: there was nothing else to do.

This is what a ringer looks like!

This is the cutest little kid I have ever seen! (and possibly the only one). Meet "Baby Corn"! What other name could you give the kid having a father named Corn Nuts, and a mother named Sally.

Isn't he adorable!?!?!? Also sometimes in Alturas when you get bored, you drink four bottles of Sparkling Wine mixed with vodka. And you do it like you mean it, and by that I mean really janky. Make-shift ice chest because there are not any chilled bottles around this town and it so happened to have snowed. See even nature wants us to drink.

Dill pickle seeds are the grubbin' in a bag. And I meant to put the grubbin', I am trying something out. :)

Wouldn't it be nice...

Uh, I find this hilarious and you will too!




So, here are those pictures from yesterday I forgot to put in the blog haha.

See you characters tomorrow, we are going to play loaded questions (adult) tonight! Booya!

Yes, it's true, since I started working I have had less time to entertain you fellow comrades. Please don't hate me, because I made you this spiffy new video and have a few pictures to go along with it!



So enjoy that and know that I am obsessed with this next song. That will be all for the day more to come, tomorrow. (This is the smallest size they had, (that's what she said?)).
