Snow Camp 2025
The Sierras got a big storm the day before we got up there. This made for lots of powder that was very difficult to snowshoe through. So we took a shortcut along the road a bit and followed some ski tracks to one of the camp host sites. We were able to make a one person snow cave and hit the lodge for drinks and hockey.

Belize Vacation
Jyoti and I took a week to visit Belize and attend a small but very effective storage mastermind group.
Some highlights of the trip:
- Belize Zoo - saw many native animals
- Wild Orchid hotel - rustic rooms but great beach
- Mariposa Beach Resort - great boutique hotel; good food but service a bit slow; our mastermind host is a partner
- Flying Pig bar - great food and very nice folks
- Maya Beach Bistro -
- Barefoot Beach Bar - typicall tropical beach restaurant
- The Shak - awesome smoothies
- Belize Mexican taco shack - good but slow
- Captain Jak's snorkeling at Silk Caye and Moho Caye
- Chillpoint coffee and smoothies - some of the best coffee anywhere
Belize is kind of like a Central American version of Hawaii. Everyone speak English, or some variation of it. People are friendly than Hawaiians and very much appreciate tourists. Travel is a bit easier than Hawaii since it is on central time. Weather and bugs are better in Hawaii though.

First Prescott Boot Drop
It was pretty crowded on the square (but not as crowded as the lighting) and the band was good. The bars all had lines to get in.
