Calgary to Grand Canyon & Back - 4300 miles in 10.5 days!
Heya all!
After a bout of needing to work a lot and finally getting to my scheduled days off I am finally heading out this afternoon on a trip to the Grand Canyon via Montana, Wyoming and Utah. The return route will be Arizona to New Mexico to Colorado to South Dakota to Wyoming and Montana. Hopefully I'll get to post a few pics here along the way for your enjoyment. It'll be 4000 miles of fun and it's just two of us going. I'll be on my 07 Dak and my buddy will be on his 08 KLR. Wish us luck and look for a more thorough write up in about 12 days. Cheers!

Hey all! Finally back home. I will be doing a day by day detailed write up of the last 11 days and 6930 km (app. 4300 miles). First... I need some Corona's and a shower and maybe a sleep in my own bed, lol!
All I can say for right now is the things couldn't have been sweeter!
Here's a teaser...

I'm looking forward to your report. I just came back from a trip through most of those spots. Zion is the best Nat park I've camped in. Great hikes and scenery. Friendly folk too. I just had one wife along on that trip though so I stood out like a bit of an odd ball in south Utah

I can't wait to see your photos. I recently rode from Arizona to Canada. Maybe we did some of the same roads? I think ZION NP is the best NP in the US. I've been to most in the west.

Ok... July 25th, D-Day.
I put a good couple of months of route prep and bike prep into this trip. I knew what to expect more or less as I have been to almost all of these areas camping before. I was not going solo this time though. A good friend and trail riding buddy was going to come with me this time! Yippe! No more talking to myself like a crazy man, LOL!
Here's my battleship of choice for this ride.
And the two of us geared and ready to go!
And my odometer before we set out.
After the start pics we were off and running to the border at Glacier National Park at about 14:30. Kelly had to work till about noon and we hadn't even planned on leaving till Saturday morning so this Friday afternoon start was just a bonus for us. We firgured we'd get a few miles in and try to get ahead of our schedule... It was a doozie after all, lol!
It was a short rip from SW Calgary to the Chief Mountain crossing. We rode Hwy 2 south to High River and then worked our way west to Pincher Creek via some back roads and then south to Chief Mountain on Hwy 6. We crossed the border and Hwy 6 became Hwy 17 till we hit Hwy 89 and followed it south to St. Mary's KOA. The KOA was much like every other. Nice people, good services, $28 a night for a tent site (this was before I had my member # so take 10% off that if you are). A supper was already had in High River of A&W so we got a six pack and some wood and chilled out.
A picture from afar of Glacier National Park.
Here's the uneventful border crossing.
And the first night's stay in the St. Mary's KOA
Day one started and ended with no problems. Weather was great, riding company was fantastic as this was the first trip I've ever done with someone else and all was shaping up to be the beginning of an epic ride!
I'd ridden mostly trails (McLean and Waiporous stuff) with Kelly before and knew him to be a really stand-up guy. This trip has firmly set that into my mind, lol! He's ALMOST as stubborn as I am, just as honest and definitely a person who I'd now call a great friend of mine. He was a very well chosen riding partner for this trip, the first of many I hope, as we have the same brain wave length and are almost always on the same page with each other about almost everything.

Day 2, Saturday July 26th
After a spectacular head-sized portion of pancakes served at the little stall right in the KOA we packed up and headed out around 08:30-09:00. The young feller that was flippin' pancakes was the same one that flipped our burgers the night before, lol! He even had the Ipod going and asked us what we wanted to listen to while we waited. We said, "Anything" and he picked Pink Floyd... Do we really look that old??? LOL!
Packed and ready for the REAL first day... lol!
We got on the road (Hwy 89) and headed south to take the long way down and around Glacier National Park. We had the most excellent time with the twisties and passing hawgs! What a beautiful morning although it was a bit chilly through some of the lower, shady spots. We didn't do "The Road to the Sun" because I thought we'd hit it on the way back not. We did get to see this though...
LOTS of twisties, yippee!!!
And Goat Lick Pass
And yes, there was an actual goat there, haha!
Stopped for fuel in Hungry Horse and met a few people from ADVRider.com. I think one of the ladies said her husbands name was "DirtRider"???
Heading out of Hungry Horse we were pleasantly surprised by Swan Lake. The temp had progressively climbed and us, being from the cold north, were needing a bit of a cool off, lol!
Swan Lake and the girls
And some lunch at Seeley Lake
Then we kept truckin' through some very wonderful smelly old growth forest still on Hwy 83.
Ok... It really was getting time for a cool down so Kelly popped off his lid and in he went! This is at Salmon Lake.
And a really cool twisted up tree!
We were back on the road again and it soon became evident that the KLR was doing it's best impression of a two-stroke... I was following Kelly for a while *cough cough* and just had to ask him what his oil situation was. We ended up making a bee-line for Helena to get some oil for the thirsty green giant and also a throttle rocker similar to mine for Kelly. Best $9 I ever spent for a farkle on my bike! We jumped onto Hwy 200 and then Hwy 141 and onto US 12.
Here's me trying to dodge the smog cloud... *snicker*
And after cresting the pass that leads into Helena.
And the Helena bike shop. Thanks go out to those guys... They stayed open just 5 minutes late enough for us to grab some oil and the throttle rocker. I also left my gloves in there and a guy brought them out to me before leaving the shop and locking up... Really great store and a beautiful city. I was extra happy to have finally made my way back to Helena!
We'd now fallen a bit behind in our journey, but no worries! It's a holiday after all, isn't it??? We had wanted to make it to Big Sky that night, but it looked like Bozeman and a KOA there were the best bet. We decided to try to find some grub and as I was still in smog avoidance mode and in the lead I pulled into an out of the way bar... This place was AWESOME!!! Great food, cute waitress and friendly people that just gawked at our bikes and asked us, "Where in the Sam Hell's you boy's goin'?"
What a burger!!!
Back on the road for the short hop from Toster to Bozeman now and we got to the KOA JUST before dark. Great campground and really nice setup!
We made an instant friend that night... We called him Red-Neck Randy as he was head to toe Nascar gear and shoved a beer in our hands before we even exchanged names or shut the bikes off... LOL! He really was a cool dude and honestly? I think he just needed to get away from the nag in the tent... Poor guy! We chatted with him till about 1am and finally packed it in.
Day two turned out to be a good idea of what this trip really was all about. Do, or not do. Kelly was faced with his first adversity with the oil problem. He knew it burned a bit, but this was the first time she'd been run this hard day after day. He picked up his lip and bared down on the problem and rolled with it. For the most part, it was laughs, good scenery, good smells, good food and certainly turning into an adventure.
Stay tuned for day 3!

Day 3, Sunday July 27th
Well... The night before was a bit of a late one with a few beers mixed in, lol! It was thanks to our next door buddy, Red-neck Randy. He was definitely a funny and cool guy, but he sure did like his beer! (We did too, haha!) We packed up and hit the road about 08:30-09:00.
Out of Bozeman, MT we hopped back onto Hwy 191 and started south towards the West Yellowstone entrace. We were going to do the first of two Yellowstone passes and were trying to make Old Faithful to see an eruption. I had no idea what the eruption schedule was, but we decided to just wing it and see when we got there.
Some beautiful valleys and passes on this highway. I highly recommend it.
We had stopped for fuel before heading into the park so it was one less thing to worry about while we were in there. Here's a pic of the girls at the gate.
Traffic really wasn't bad at all in the park and we made pretty good time on the tight roads in there. 45mph is the speed limit, but I'm sure we kept it to around 55-65mph.
As I had seen this park about 15 yrs ago when the fires were raging (way too smokey to even really make anything out) it was nice to be back and see it as a grown man and enjoy it for what it is. The damage from the fire was still very evident and will take a lot more time for mother nature to repair it all. The park is still very beautiful, very aromatic and was a definite must for our trip. It was the second of the MANY parks we hit on this trip.
You can still see some of the old burn in this photo.
Well, our tummies were rumbling now and we had officially crossed into a new state now so we stopped in the town of West Yellowstone were we discovered a line-up that would rival any Tim Hortons in the McDonalds there, lol! We said screw it and decided to look for a sit down place. We also needed more oil for the two-stroke Kelly was riding *snicker* so we hit up Motorhed in West Yellowstone before breakfast.
Motorhed - Really cool little bike shop with tons of stickers and gear and odds and ends. (And oil for KLR's... HAHA)
For food we just went next door from the bike shop to a place called The Outpost. Awesome little place with a REALLY hearty breakfast for a reasonable price.
We checked out the museum across the street and then got back on the road.
We arrived shortly at Old Faithful and parked amidst the sea of chrome with our own sense of style, lol!
And low and behold!!! As we're approaching Old Faithful... She goes off!!!
After the show we quickly turned and hit the gift shop to avoid the hoards of people. We found some park stickers and an older couple touring on a big dresser chatted us up in the cafeteria. I was fondly reminded of the hospitality and friendliness of total strangers basically the world over. I travel all over for work in the oilfield and it's the same when travelling on a scooter... only much better! The bikes and gear are always the topic of discussion, lol! I did find one other thing in the gift shop... I was gettin' lonely so I picked up a stray bear for the rest of the ride.
After that we hit the Grand Loop south for a while longer and really had a blast with the twisties. Musta passed about $1,000,000 worth of hawgs in there too, lol! We found this little waterfall for a stop and a quick photo op.
I also figured out that my shield made for some pretty darn cool pics!
Still miles and miles of this unfortunately...
But there's also this!!! Tetons and Jackson Lake!!!
We made an ice cream stop as were getting warm in the slower speeds of the Tetons park and also filled up once more. We also found our park sticker for the Tetons there. After that we continued on to Jackson (or Jackson Hole as I know it from my childhood). I absolutely LOVE this place and it will always be a spot that I will visit if I'm in the area. Fantastic little town and I can only relate it to being similar to a Canmore, AB from 10 yrs agao. Very cool place.
Once again we found ourselves in delightful twisties!!!
We stopped at a place called Hoback Creek on the side of the highway for a photo cause we were just having altogether too much fun now, lol!
We eventually hit some flatter land with some hotter temps.
Us Canadians are not used to that heat, but I'd been here before. I knew what to expect. I also work in the Texas/Arkansas/Oklahoma area every spring/summer and know the heat. Kelly had no idea though... He is a friggin' trooper though! I know he suffered in the heat more than I, but I hardly ever heard a peep out of him about it. Like I said... The two of us are pretty bull-headed, lol! I could see Kelly dropping back more frequently and further too...
So I found the best thing for the situation... Farson's ICE CREAM!!! Who doesn't like ice cream anyway!?!?! This turned out to be the beginning of a daily to multi-daily affair with the frozen milk variety, lol!
Check out the size of that cone!!!
"Bear" and I had a hot chocolate and a smoke, lol...
That was definitely a good pick-me-up and we got back on the road to knock out the last few miles to Rock Springs. It was windy from what I recall... lol!!! Anyone who's ridden 191 into Rock Springs will know what I'm laughing about...
We also crossed our 1000 mile point on the way into Rock Springs, yippee!!!
I wish I'd had this photo for the "Negative Space" photo competition...
Our site at the Rock Springs KOA had a few things left to be desired... But we were dropping tired. After a quick supper at Applebees (Note to self... Kelly won't eat it if it's got mayo on it, lol) it was time to crash out. We'd made up the miles missed by the day before getting stuff in Helena and we were back on track! It was a good tired and a great sleep. Too bad that wasn't a few blades of grass here though...
The nice woman that worked at the KOA made up for the lack of grass though... I still wonder if that was her daughter or not... Hmmm...
Stay tuned for day four!!!

Day 4, Monday July 28th
We woke up pretty early and I had a nagging question of Kelly that morning. I asked him if he'd put a switch in for his lights so he could shut of the daytime running side. He looked at me like I was crazy so I told him he a light out, lol! I grabbed some tools out of my pannier and went at it and had the fairing off and light out in about 5 minutes. A quick rip to Wally World and $9.47, 10 minutes and three bolts later I had it back together before Kelly got back from his morning pitstop at the washroom. Lol, he gigled and said he was glad he brought his BMW mechanic along, lol!
We were then all set and ready to head out.
We jumped onto Hwy 530 and took the long way west and around Flaming Gorge. This was another national park I'd visited as a kid only this time I'd be on the other side. The highway was beautiful and Flaming Gorge turned out to be a gem in the rough!
The girls posing pretty for the camera. (No, I didn't always hide the KLR, I took pics from both sides and I just happen to think this one looks better, HAHA!)
And a wonderful (but WASH-BOARDY!!!) dirt road we found that led us right into the resevoir. We were even flanked by some Antelope kicking up more dust than we were! Those buggers haul A$$!
I was still for the most part in smog-avoidance mode, but I gave Kelly the reigns through these twisties. MAN was this EVER fun!!!
We got off the highway and found this awesome photo op too!
All the memories of these parks always came flooding back to times when I was much younger... 15 yrs or more ago. I'd see something that I recognized just like this rock formation and I'd be grinning from ear to ear! These areas actually were the inspiration for me to do what I do now... I always liked rocks and bikes more than anything else because of the trip I had taken through here. I figured I'd become3 a geologist... What better way to make enough money to ride whatever and whenever???
If you look closely at this one you can see the Blue Power Ranger in there somewhere... (Inside joke... Kelly will laugh!)
We got going again and boy am I ever glad I scheduled that side of the park... What a fun ride and AWESOME scenery!
Even a bit of hooliganism at the "Interpretive Sign"...
We then crossed over into Utah... Out of the arid desert and into old growth forest!!! Wtf!?!?! What an incredible climb and descent though, lol! We passed about $1,000,000 worth of Jag's going up and had a blast coming down. We stopped for a break to reflect and have a breather.
Kelly was so pumped that there was this much fun to be had on slab that when I pulled over he was yelling and doing fist pumps for about 10 minutes, lol!!! I told him that's half the fun of having a DUAL sport. You can't just ride trails all the time or else you should have a DIRT bike, lol! The jag's repassed us while we were stopped and waved and honked in salute to our defiance of altitude, haha!
We came down out of the forest and were suddenly back in the semi arid desert again. WOW... Our first real blast of heat coming into Vernal. We were back on Hwy 191 after a quick breakfast/lunch at the JB's there.
We skipped Dinosaur National Park as we'd already used up our allotted spare time for the morning and got truckin' on Hwy 191 south again. We were on our way to Price.
I really do love these shield shots... Almost like a spaceman...
We again had some INCREDIBLE twisties to play in on our way to Price... Some serious altitude climbs too!
Ariving in price we hit up a gas station for fuel and water and ice cream. We also tried out the water on our shirts to act as a natural air conditioner. That was definitely one of the keys to us keeping cool on this trip. Keep the gear on... just keep it wet underneath. It was heating up more and more and we were finding new ways to deal with it.
It was getting a bit flatter now...
We seemed to have fallen behind a bit this day... I had wanted to take the old dirt Hwy 72 through Whipup and Loa, but time was not on our side. We instead hopped onto the I70 through Richfield and Joseph. After Joseph we jumped back onto my beloved Hwy 89!!! Yippee! More twisites and fun!
First some pics of I70
And now a few from Hwy 89! We had to stop for a smoke and some vent closing before however... It was pretty dang windy again!
Then we arrived in Panguitch... This town holds fond memories for me and the Main Street Market even has my name in it, lol! Bryce Canyon and Red Canyon were now so close I could taste it!!!
Te first glimpse of Red Canyon...
And FINALLY!!! We had achieved our first major goal... RED ROCKS!!! Red Canyon is absolutely AWESOME at sunset!
Like a moment out of Rocky!
And probably the best over-the-shoulder sunset pic I have ever seen... (tooting my own horn there, lol)
We arrived in at Ruby's late and set up in the dark. No biggy! We had some Miller Lite! I cooked up some boil-in-bag Pasta Primivera and Kelly baked up a can of beans. He wasn't hungry, but I forced some pasta into him before he crashed out. He was grateful I did so in the morning.
All in all... Another awesome day of riding. There were a few changes made to the flight path to gain some time to get to our goal, but nothing serious. We were still sticking to our trip for the most part. Today was a very high day for me... The one thing I wanted to achieve was Red Canyon... It's a pretty special place to me. Everything else after this was pure bonus and it would only add more to my happy feeling!
Stay tuned for day 5!!!

Nice job! We did ride some of the same roads. The Rock Springs KOA looked more like an RV park, and was full when I got there after dark. The La Quinta was nicer.

Day 5, Tuesday July 29
What a great place to wake up in... No crazy noise too early, just the right temperature and some hotties walking their dogs around the campground... Perfect. We did have a little trouble getting "Bear" up as he was dippin' in the sauce till the wee hours that night, LOL!
He seemed fine after he got his morning NOS though,
We packed up quick and headed back out to Red Canyon to visit the "Rock Shop" and some of the gift stores. These places held sentimental value for me and we were going to hit them first and then do Bryce Canyon. This was the first real chance of some no-helmet highway work... It really feels weird, lol! (The pork chops were my "play-off beard for this trip, lol!)
Red Canyon is spectacular first thing in the morning.
And Kelly was having a blast which really did make my day... I have to admit that there was a tiny part of me that thought he might not like the trip I had planned... Turns out it was just paranoia and he really did have a great time.
We also stopped at the Bryce Canyon trading post for some bandanna's and stickers, yippee!
Kelly must have been revitalized by my boil-in-the-bag cooking last night cause he sure was rippin' up the ditches that morning, hahaha!
And then we were off to the actual park itself.
I can honestly say from my travels to other countries far away and the amazing things I've seen from Mt. Fuji to Waiamea Canyon, Kaua'i... Bryce Canyon is one of the natural wonders that everyone should put on their "to do before I die" lists... This is my second time there and it still made me speechless...
Bryce Point
Natural Bridge
Inspiration Point... I do NOT wonder why they called it that.
After Bryce Canyon we hit the road and high tailed it south on Hwy 89 again down to Orderville... Theme of the day was "Kaos in Orderville", LOL! I saw this little rock shop and my name being the same and me being a geologist dictated that I stop in to check the lapidary wares.
We were on our way to our second park of the day, Zion! We decided to try to get ahead of the heat as we knew it was only going to get worse for us. We stopped in a little cafe for some grub and ice cream. This place was seriously one of the best eats we had all trip.
Check out the look on Kelly's face... He is PRICELESS sometimes, hahaha!
After the eats we hauled A$$ to Zion.
Even found a bit of "offroad"... Does 3 ft off the road count??? (It's a national park and I didn't know what I could get away with so I decided not to push it... it did make a cool pic though, )
And we soon found the incredible purple-red roads we both remembered from our childhoods. These roads EAT tires in this heat though...
Some more spaceman shots...
And the famous tunnels there!
We go to play on some of the dozens of hairpins and switchbacks...
And found some INCREDIBLE photo ops!!!
We eventually got out of Zion, however, and it was rather anti-climactic for me... Bryce was the biggy for me, but Zion was the real deal for Kelly. We got through the park, turned south at La Verkin and went to Hurricane for fuel. We also found our beloved stickers for our trip to Zion. After Hurricane we jumped onto the old Hwy 59 to take us to the North Rim...
Now things become less detailed for me... We went through Colorado City... Way cool! But the HEAT!!! Us Canadiana boys were getting our A$$ES kicked in ernest now! We made a stop in Fredonia, AZ as we realized it was time for cold water and a dousing of the shirts. While in the store I found THIS!!! SCORE!
Kelly... What a trooper! Guys got 20 yrs on me almost and he was still going strong! SUPER TROOPER!
And he sure was stoked up after Zion and some fresh cold water. I was soon in my "make-a-mile/listen-to-ipod" mode and I had to really make sure I was listening to my body for water and stops as time started to lose meaning in the +40C weather... Middle of July? Sure, let's do it! Who's idea was this again... Dammit... it was mine...
We did find some good twisties to keep us alert though.
Things improved greatly when we gained some altitude however. The vegetation came back and the temps dropped to a more reasonable +30C
Kelly was so revitalized by the twisties and cool air he was in "recliner mode"!!!
And then we saw the sign!!! THIRD national park of the day!!!
This park road was AWESOME!!! I know, I know... Slap my wrist for stretching the speed limit, but in Canada 20 over isn't that bad! The twisties were BEGGING me to run my girl hard.
And then we arrived shortly after the light had been the best... It was still an incredible view... and I again heard almost dead silence from Kelly. I know what the first time I saw it was like. It's humbling.
Well... The sun was going down and we still didn't have a site booked so we decided to get at it. It was my bright idea to skip that step in order to see the canyon first... Bad decision, or so I thought after we couldn't get a site at the rim. They told us to try DeMotte up the road about 8 miles so we hoofed it back there only to discover the gas station close by was closed and we were short on grub... The SUPER nice lady at the gas station popped out and asked us if we were out of gas and I shook my head and shut my bike off for a minute. She told us the national forest campground was full and now I REALLY though I'd fcuked up...
Nice Lady : What are you going to do now?
Me : Well, I'm gonna set my bloody tent up right in the middle of that field over there and wait for a ranger to give me a ticket cause I'm dog tired and it's getting dark.
Nice Lady : No no no... That's not illegal here. This is all national forest, you can camp basically anywhere! BUT... If I were you... I'd go a mile up the road here, take a left on the dirt road called 611 and follow it right to the North Rim and you can camp right on the edge for free and with no one else around.
ME : *Slack-jawed incomprehension... slowly turning to sh!t-eating grin... morphing into joyous laughter and the feeling that everything really DOES turn out for the best* Thank you very much!
Nice Lady : Come see me at 07:30... I'll get you guys filled up with breakfast, gas and coffee. Have a great night!
So... Moral of the story here... We either had PHENOMENAL luck, or there really are a lot of nice people out there. I think it was a mix of both. Anyway, we saddled up and headed to the rim! We got to the end of that road and she wasn't lying... What a view! Gathered a bunch of wood, set up our tents, made another batch of my famous boil-in-the-bag (Vegetable Lasagna this time) and another can of beans and we were more content that night I think than any other of the trip... It was a little windy, but nothing serious. The morning after this would more than make up for it.
Stay tuned for day 6!

Great report so far! I was very curious (and extremely envious) how you'd make out on your trip after I talked to you in the MEC parking lot the morning you guys left ( I was the guy with the cane, riding the red Yamaha Majesty).
Looking forward to seeing the rest!

I bought 2 of these. The first one twisted on slightly crooked but it did NOT make a difference when I put it in the ground. The 2nd one lined up great. Easy to put together. I made sure the ground was "damp" so I could push the "stake" all the way in the ground (more sturdy that way). (Once in the ground) the top of the flag measures approximately 31 1/2 inches to the ground. Works great, reasonably priced, easy to put together. I am planning on getting 2 more! VERY pleased!!!
Love it!

This item doesn't go into ground correctly. It wobbles around and the flag spins in wind rather than staying in place.

I put it in the ground and it tends to fall over. If I put it any deeper, it is not tall enough.
Flag wouldn't work with out it lol

The poles were a little hard to put together. They screw together and it was difficult to get the threading started. But I'm glad they screw together because there more durable that way.

On 29 November 2012, Kenya's Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Raila Odinga, joined His Highness the Aga Khan at the signing of an agreement to rehabilitate Nairobi City Park.
The 60-hectare park, which has suffered over time from encroachment, pollution and other threats, will be rehabilitated over a period of several years. It will include a new restaurant, educational facilities, a botanical garden, an exhibition ground, an open air theatre and sports facilities. The works will also improve the site's amenities and public safety, as well as provide the necessary infrastructure to maintain the natural and cultural heritage of the park.
With 10 park and garden projects now in its portfolio, AKTC has demonstrated that even in the most challenging contexts, parks can have a positive impact on a city if they are restored and maintained. In several locations, AKTC has demonstrated that, under the right conditions, parks and gardens can also be economic generators that drive – directly and indirectly – a broad advance of positive change.

SFSO statistics
Milvignes is a municipality in the district of Boudry in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. It was formed on January 1, 2013 by merging the former municipalities Auvernier, Bôle and Colombier.[3]
Auvernier is first mentioned in 1011 as Averniacum. The municipality was formerly known by its German name Avernach, however, that name is no longer used.[4]
Bôle is first mentioned in 1346 as Boule.[5]
Colombier is first mentioned in 1228 as Columbier.[6]
Four lakeside settlements from the neolithic and the Bronze Age have been discovered in Colombier. One of the largest Roman era villas in Switzerland was excavated from under the castle in 1840–42 by Frédéric Dubois de Montperreux. It was built in multiple stages between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD into a palatial mansion with a peristyle, at least two baths with mosaics and frescoes and terraced gardens. A Merovingian graveyard was found near Colombier.[6]
In the 11th or 12th century a fortified tower was built over the ruins of the Roman villa. It expanded in the 13th Century and by the 16th century had reached its present appearance.[6]
During the Middle Ages, the Seigneurie of Colombier included the villages of Colombier and Areuse, a part of Bôle and a third of the Vogtei of Bevaix. They also had rights in Fretereules and Val-de-Ruz. The noble Colombier family were vassals of the count of Neuchâtel. During the Middle Ages, they also acquired, by marriage, the fiefs of Savagnier, Cormondrèche and the fief of the Pressoir of Colombeir in Thielle. In 1488 the Colombier lands were acquired by marriage by the de Chauvirey family of Franche-Comte. In 1513, they were acquired by Johann Jakob von Watteville of Bern. Under von Watteville, the territory expanded further into Bevaix. In 1564, the land was purchased by the Counts of Neuchâtel, for 60,000 crowns. Under Johann Jakob von Watteville, the Protestant Reformation was successfully introduced in town. When portions of the Armée de l'Est were interred in Colombier in 1871, the Catholic Mass began to be read once again in the church.[6]
The boundaries of the village are first documented in 1346. In 1357 it received, along with Bôle and Areuse, a forest which the three municipalities jointly managed until the 18th Century. During the 16th and 17th centuries, much of the population was exempted from many of the feudal taxes and fees that they had paid to their feudal overlords. The last feudal tax, however, was finally abolished in the 19th century. In the middle of the 17th century, the town was saved from bankruptcy through a loan given by the bankers Abraham Mouchet and his son. Henri II d'Orléans, the Prince of Neuchatel, freed the municipality from its debts in 1657. In exchange, the municipality pledged to plant trees along the road from the lake to the castle.[6]
A chapel is first mentioned in Colombier in 1177. It became a parish before 1228, which included Montézillon in the Middle Ages, Areuse until 1832 and Auvernier until 1879. The right to appoint the priest at St. Stefan's church in Colombier was held by the cathedral chapter of Lausanne Cathedral. A Catholic parish was founded in 1884.[6]
In 1734, the first spinning factory in the Lower Areuse was built in Colombier by Jean-Jacques Deluz Bied. By 1739 it had about 80 workers. The factory brought a degree of prosperity and enabled the construction stately country houses in the vicinity of the village (Le Bied, Vaudijon, La Mairesse, Cottendart, Sombacour).[6]
In 1806, Colombier Castle was converted into a military hospital. Starting in 1824, it was used by the Federal militias as a parade ground and was converted into a barracks and given an expanded arsenal. In 1877 it became the official barracks of the 2. Division, which later became Field Division 2. In 2003, the Army XXI reforms dissolved the Division and in 2004 the barracks became an infantry training center.[6]
In the 19th century, Colombier was a regional center, with a gas plant and a bank. The first train station was built in 1859–60. In 1892 it became part of the tram line Neuchâtel-Boudry and in 1927 an airfield was built in the municipality. The regional secondary school was built in the 1969 and teaches students from Colombier, Cortaillod, Boudry, Bôle, Rochefort and Auvernier. It is now a residential community, with few industries. Many of the jobs in town support the barracks.[6]
The former municipalities that make up Milvignes had an area of 8.78 km2 (3.39 sq mi).[1]
Auvernier had an area, as of 2009[update], of 1.7 square kilometers (0.66 sq mi). Of this area, 0.79 km2 (0.31 sq mi) or 47.0% is used for agricultural purposes, while 0.06 km2 (0.023 sq mi) or 3.6% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.8 km2 (0.31 sq mi) or 47.6% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.04 km2 (9.9 acres) or 2.4% is either rivers or lakes and 0.01 km2 (2.5 acres) or 0.6% is unproductive land.[7] The former municipality is located on the north-west bank of Lake Neuchatel.
Bôle had an area, as of 2009[update], of 2.6 square kilometers (1.0 sq mi). Of this area, 0.7 km2 (0.27 sq mi) or 27.1% is used for agricultural purposes, while 1.16 km2 (0.45 sq mi) or 45.0% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.73 km2 (0.28 sq mi) or 28.3% is settled (buildings or roads).[7] The former municipality is located on the slope above the old Roman era road Vy d'Etraz. It consists of the linear village of Bôle.
Colombier had an area, as of 2009[update], of 4.5 square kilometers (1.7 sq mi). Of this area, 1.78 km2 (0.69 sq mi) or 39.4% is used for agricultural purposes, while 0.85 km2 (0.33 sq mi) or 18.8% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 1.86 km2 (0.72 sq mi) or 41.2% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.01 km2 (2.5 acres) or 0.2% is either rivers or lakes and 0.02 km2 (4.9 acres) or 0.4% is unproductive land.[7] The former municipality is located on a small hill above Lake Neuchatel.
The total population of Milvignes (as of December 2013[update]) is 8,975.[2]

hi I'm 140lbs and 5'8" would the 147 be good for me at all? I like rails boxes and to do creative buttering on the hill would it sacrifice the pop or no?
Logan Madden
Go for the 150 man, you would sacrifice alot of pop, especially since this is a rocker board. Also pressing will still be easy on the 150
Rome SDS
147 or a 150 depending on what you prefer, and it has a ton of pop, especially for such a soft deck.

Treat yourself to a summer adventure you won't soon forget on the St. Joseph Museum sponsored trip to explore the new Sea Life Kansas City Aquarium at Crown Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The day-long excursion will also include shopping and a gourmet luncheon at the Webster House along with a surprise stop in the afternoon. The trip will be held on Friday, June 8.
The adventure begins at the Sea Life Kansas City Aquarium where over 5,000 sea creatures swim in 260,000 gallons of water. Built at a cost of $15 million, the center includes 30 display tanks in 12 different habitat zones to transport visitors into an amazing underwater world of seahorses, starfish, and sharks. The new facility features feed shows, a touch pool, and a 180 degree underwater ocean tunnel that is the centerpiece of the Aquarium. The 130,000 gallon walk-through underwater tunnel gives visitors a nose-to-nose view of sharks and other sea creatures. All the other displays are also designed to offer astonishingly close views of sea life, including jellyfish, cow nosed rays, common octopus, and clownfish. The Sea Life motto is "to get any closer you'd have to get wet!"
After touring the aquarium, participants will have a chance to relax and enjoy a leisurely lunch of salad with champagne vinaigrette, sliced pork loin, dauphinoise potatoes, sautéed apples, and vanilla crème brulee with whipped cream and fresh berries at the Webster House. More than a restaurant, the Webster House features the largest collection of fine antiques in the Midwest along with a large selection of home décor for a unique shopping experience.
The afternoon will include a surprise stop, making the day a bit of a "Mystery Trip." Trip participants will find a few clues on the motorcoach in the morning to help them solve the mystery.
The motor coach will leave from the St. Joseph Museum, 3406 Frederick Ave., at 8:30 a.m. on June 8, and return to the museum at approximately 5 p.m. The cost of the trip will be $97 for museum members and $114 for non-members.

Cancer does not discriminate.

Cancer does not discriminate, June Testicular Cancer awareness month. Cancer attacks your next door neighbor. Cancer affects celebrities such as Lance Armstrong and Scott Hamilton. Cancer can happen to you or your love ones.
Cancer does not discriminate. Cancer attacks your next door neighbor. Cancer affects celebrities such as Lance Armstrong and Scott Hamilton. Cancer can happen to you. As we approach Father's Day, June 19, Rocky Flats Gear would like to inform you of testicular cancer basics. Testicular cancer forms inside a man's testes, the gland that manufactures sperm and testosterone. This form of cancer is the most common form in young men and is rarely fatal, as 95 percent cases can be cured.
There are two main types of testicular cancer:
Both types of testicular cancer are most often formed in the germ cells, which are the cells within the testicles that produce immature sperm. Researchers still aren't sure why this form of cancer occurs.
We do know mutagenic chemicals and radiation can cause cancer.
Even though there is no known cause, there is an association with an undescended testis and, in some cases, a family history of the disease. We are told security radiation is NOT penetrating. If this was the case, leg bone shadows would not be seen in the image below. New security scanners deliver a significant dose of penetrating radiation to the body including prostrate [4], breast, ovaries and testicles.
Estrogens in environment feminizes men.
Studies saying that BPA, the estrogen mimicker used in plastic bottles, does enter our bodies and is well known to feminizes men.[2] Many public water supplies use recycled water containing excreted birth control and plasticizer or synthetic estrogens leached from plastics.
concerned honeymooners being irradiated just before and
Early Detection and Prevention
As with women and self examination of their breasts, men should do a regular self exam of their testicles. If a man feels something abnormal, such as a lump, he should see his doctor. Some other signs or symptoms of testicular cancer include:
Removal of the cancerous testicle is the most common treatment. Men with one testicle can still achieve erections and produce sperm.
Minimize your Risk
We at Rocky Flats Gear would like for all fathers to be around for a long time. Does your father work with radiation or travel, why not give your dad a gift of love, a pair of our radiation blocking briefs or boxers.
Get cancer perhaps receive no treatment no Job.
Years from now when God forbid you get cancer your out of work and the government is broke you will be given pain meds. This is happening to more than 300 cancer patients being treated in South African hospitals according to the Cancer Association of Swaziland, (CANASWA), after the government could not meet their medical costs.[2] Or you can't get a job after being treated for cancer.[3]

After years of refusal, Led Zeppelin has signed a contract that allows their songs to be streamed on the music sharing service, Spotify.
According to Rolling Stone, Spotify's Daniel Ek made the announcement today (December 11) during a press conference held in New York City, where it was revealed that Zeppelin's catalog would be released to the service in phases throughout this week.
Beginning today, Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II will be available, while tomorrow marks the additions of Led Zeppelin III and Untitled fourth album. This weekend will bring House of the Holy and Physical Graffiti (Friday), Presence and In Through the Out Door (Saturday) and finally, The Song Remains the Same, Coda, BBC Sessions, How the West was Won, Mothership and Celebration Day (Sunday).
Led Zeppelin's music first appeared on iTunes in 2007, but since that time, the band has been seemingly reluctant to release their discography to other digital services.
Classic Rockers such as AC/DC, Bob Seger and the Beatles continue to be absent from Spotify, Rolling Stone reports.
In other news, Led Zeppelin is gearing up for the release of a career-spanning box set, which Jimmy Page has teased will include some rare and never-before-heard material from the band. The set is rumored to be out sometime in 2014.
Additionally, the band's recent live album Celebration Day, which captures Zeppelin's 2007 reunion performance at London's O2 Arena, recently snagged a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, as well as one for Best Rock Performance for the version of "Kashmir" that appears on the LP.

Confused about how to start your 3MT presentation?
Watch this for training and inspiration.
Here are the rules of the competition:
- A single static PowerPoint slide is permitted. No slide transitions, animations or 'movement' of any description are allowed. The slide is to be presented from the beginning of the oration.
- No additional electronic media (e.g. sound and video files) are permitted.
- No additional props (e.g. costumes, musical instruments, laboratory equipment) are permitted.
- Presentations are limited to 3 minutes maximum and competitors exceeding 3 minutes are disqualified.
- Presentations are to be spoken word (eg. no poems, raps or songs).
- Presentations are to commence from the stage.
- Presentations are considered to have commenced when a presenter starts their presentation through either movement or speech.
- The decision of the adjudicating panel is final.
In order to be eligible for the university-wide Three Minute Thesis competition on March 5, 2015, students must first participate in a college-level 3MT competition. Two students from each college will advance to the university-wide competition.
3MT (or Three Minute Thesis) is a research presentation competition that originated at the University of Queensland in 2008. Since then, the program has spread to several universities worldwide. This is the inaugural year for 3MT at BYU, and with active participation this will become an annual opportunity for graduate students.
Students participating in 3MT have three minutes to give a presentation based on their thesis. Of course, three minutes is not enough time to present an entire thesis, so there is only time for the essentials. For video examples of past 3MT presentations, click here.
Individual colleges within BYU will hold their own competitions near the beginning of Winter semester to determine which two competitors (per college) will advance to the university-wide competition, which will be held February 5, 2015. The competitor who wins first will receive $5,000, second place will receive $2,500, third place will receive $1,500, and the People's choice will win $1,000.

The Vernal Equinox took place at 6:02am today (WED), and our days will now begin getting longer. At the exact moment of the Equinox, if you were observing the Earth from space you would see the sunrise or sunset line cutting the planet in half vertically, from pole to pole.

African presidents, billionaires, rich local businessmen, diplomats and socialites yesterday attended the opulent wedding of President Robert Mugabe's first daughter Bona.
In the process, the estimated 4,000 guests were given a rare opportunity to view the First Family's lavish private home in Borrowdale, which has for long remained a secret.
Mugabe's massive property, which is reportedly worth more than $10 million was, according to presidential spokesperson George Charamba, built through donations from Zanu PF and unknown well-wishers.
Realising that hosting the expensive wedding at the mansion - popularly known as Blue Roof - was going to expose Mugabe's mansion which would ultimately lead to questions on how the 90-year-old could have built such a house in a poor country like Zimbabwe, Charamba was quoted in the State media pre-empting the lavish nature of the house.
"The venue of the wedding is a peculiar one. It is not a public place.
"It is actually within the grounds of the home of the First Family and this is a home which is distinct from the official residence of the President.
"You might recall that the land on which that home stands was bought by the party, Zanu PF, for their leader. Not a single cent came from the State."
"Secondly, the structures which have become the private home of the First Family were painstakingly put up through a combination of private savings and donations from well-wishers.
"That makes the place not just a house for now, but a home for all times for the Mugabes, in and out of office.
"That immediately raises security concerns not just in the present, but for all times. So access to the venue of the wedding can neither be random nor unlimited," said Charamba in comments that raised eyebrows.
Organisers of the event kept a tight lead on pictures, amid concerns that guests would take pictures of the monstrous house and publish them.
Inside the controversial residence of the First Family, it was off bound for the private media, with cameras, cellphones and smart phones switched off for guests.
To keep a lid on the nuptials, Mugabe's neighbours were formally advised not to take photographs of the invited guests who trooped to the highly-securitised residence of the Zanu PF leader's home, in Benzes, BMWs, Bentleys and off-terrain monsters.
Shuttle buses that ferried the guests from Heritage Primary School to the Mugabe residence - were emblazoned with the faces of 24-year-old Bona and Simba Chikore, whose age remains a mystery.
Mugabe's imposing villa was built amid controversy at a time when Zimbabwe was going through an economic meltdown - and until yesterday very few people have had the privilege of viewing the house.
Reports at the time the house was built said that marble was imported from Italy. The finest European crystal, sunken baths with jacuzzi fittings and oriental rugs are all part of the décor. The soaring ceilings were reportedly decorated by Arab craftsmen.
At the time in an interview with Sky News, Mugabe denied that the mansion had been built with Zimbabwean taxpayers' money.
He said a Serbian company had donated material and labour at cost, supplemented by gifts of fine timber from former Malaysian Prime Minister Makathir Mohammad and roof tiles from China.
"You say it is lavish because it is attractive," Mugabe told Sky News.
"It has Chinese roofing material which makes it very beautiful, but it was donated to us -- the Chinese are our good friends, you see."
Out of 18 heads of state invited, three made it, South Africa's Jacob Zuma, Equatorial Guinea's Obiang Nguema, and Zambian leader Michael Sata.
Zuma, arrived at Blue Roof hard on the heels of Mugabe who had "arrived" at his home in his armour-plated Mercedes Benz; with bodyguards in dark suits jogging in front of the imposing vehicles that included a Royce Rolls used by Bona.
South Africa billionaire Patrick Matsoepe, whose estimated net worth is $2,7 billion, was also among the elite guests who converged at Mugabe's plush Borrowdale home, to witness the marriage.
The relationship between Mugabe and Motsepe is not clear.
Africa's longest serving ruler Nguema of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea, who is reported to be one of the richest on the continent, keenly followed proceedings.
