This is my Favorite place in the whole world. My Husband and I have gone to snow canyon 4 times now in the short Year we have been together. What really makes this place so special was the day he asked me to marry him. That's why I look so happy in the Pic!

Destination: Lake Tahoe/Sieraville, CA
My fiance has been out of the country for the past two years (Doha, Qatar). So we both decided a road trip out to see her parents and brother was in order. We decided to drive because I have two beagles that have to go everywhere I do it seems. We really wanted to ski and snowboard while we were there so I headed down to Rack N Road to see what I could find. I don't even know where to begin with the crack crew at the Salt Lake City store. I have purchased several racks from them before and have had them instal some extras that I bought, and every time I have been in there the customer service was outstanding! Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all the products. I ended up selling a rack that I had bought at Rack N Road three months eairlier and paid the differance for a Fatcat 6. Very nice looking on my Toyota for sure. Unfortunately I had some problems with it three hours into the road trip and had to remove it. No worries though, one quick call to the great guys at R N R and my troubles were solved! I can't say enough about the crew there in SLC. I exchanged the Fatcat 6 for a really great Thule Revolver 4. I am very satisfied and I've also sent several of my fellow employees to Rack N Road. I'm sure they will see me again.
The trip was great by the way, the Sierra's are AMAZING and believe it or not the snow was soft and deep! The picture is of my fiance (Sharka) owning a fun box at Sugar Bowl.
Thanks again you guys. Until next time!

Destination: Mt. Snow - Vermont
Instead of spending the same old Christmas vacation at home, my girlfriend, her brother, and friends decided to ski trip to Mt. Snow in Vermont. The weather was bad, rained for 2 days and made the skiing conditions horrible on the mountain. But it was fun and we had a great time. Picture is of my girlfriend and her brother, along with the Yakima rack that made the trip easy. We had way too much stuff for a 3 day trip to be packed into my car.

Thursday, August 24, 2006
We spent the night driving from Washington DC to Seymour, CT. This was quite an epic drive to say the least. We pulled out of DC around 11:00 pm and drove our way through Baltimore, and then onto New York City. Somewhere in Delaware we stopped for a midnight snack at McDonald’s. This was the beginning of an interesting conversation. Jez and I were standing at the drive thru, because the bus was too tall to fit through, and a guy sticks his head outside the window of his big black Excursion piloted by his driver wearing tuxedo and begins to speak. He asks,”Are you guys just standing there or what?” I replied by saying,”Yes we are waiting for our food, sorry mate.” A few moments later we walked away with our sacks full of food and Jez turns to me and asks if the guy looked like a member of the band Hanson. I answered,”I think your right.” I walked back up to the excursion and said, “You asked me a stupid question, so now it’s my turn… are you guys Hanson?” To make a long story short, it was most definitely the band Hanson ordering French fries at 1:00 am in the morning in the middle of nowhere Delaware… Random.We passed through the New York City around 4:30 am, and there were already massive amounts of traffic. I was amazed to be driving on an interstate that had 6 lanes of traffic in both directions, that’s right 12 lanes of mass chaos! The lanes are very narrow, and the tractor trailers were passing us as if we were setting still. Jez drove through the heart of the city; I feel that he deserves an award for driving the bus right through the middle of Brooklyn! After we traveled out of New York City I fell fast asleep as Jez drove us on into Connecticut.
We arrived at Thule U.S. Headquarters around lunch today and met with Steve Doviak, their marketing director. Steve checked out our remarkable new bus (which still does not have an official name) and then treated us to lunch. After lunch, we picked up our new gear and began to assemble the massive, massive new rack. The two of us spent the next 3 hours putting the rack together in THULE’s parking lot. The bus now has 4 sets of 89” bars ( largest allowed by law, built for a Hummer!), 2 Ferrari red twenty one cubic feet cargo boxes, 2 sets of Hull-A-Ports, 2 kayak stackers, 12 straps, 2 t-shirts, 2 work shirts, 2 hats, and a bunch of logos to put on the bus. The people at THULE are some of the best people we have met on the road. There is no question that the two of us will always be THULE customers. Check out the bus pictures, this thing is awesome & really tall. We are only 6 inches shorter than the average tractor trailer.Jez is back at the wheel again, and I have resumed my roll as computer nerd and we are headed for Watertown, NY. The next update will be from the Black River Festival.Good night from interstate 84,Rideout

Travelers: Craig with Epic Ride | | Origin: Vancouver
Destination: Whistler, BC
The weather in the Northwest is no joke. The sideways, driving rain leaves you feeling soaked for days. But even the worst case of seasonal affective disorder can’t compete with Whistler in late summer.
After driving up through Vancouver along the Sea to Sky Highway, we dropped our bags at the Delta Hotel in Whistler, all along the way sampling plenty of the region’s specialty: pouring rain. The next morning, though, the rain had quit and Whistler showed its true colors. Craig and the team at Epic Ride showed us just about everything that makes this place so incredible. After riding CreamPuff and Pemberton (using Blackcomb helicopters as our personal chauffeurs), we checked out the awesome Alta Lake. Afterward we made a pit stop at the Howe Sound Brewpub in Squamish for a few pints of their Devil’s Elbow IPA. There are few better ways to cap a perfect day.
About with some nasty weather is part of any road trip. Sure, it put a bit of a damper on our Northwest excursion, but the road is all about the unexpected. And while being carted around in a helicopter is pretty great, nothing beats the road.

Travelers: Thule Racks | | Origin: US Thule headquarters
Destination: Seymour CT
Thule's 2nd Annual Tour De Thule took place on Tuesday, October 10th, 2006, and included heroic performances, personal triumph and a near photo finish. Signaling a good-bye to warmer summer lunch rides and hello to harsh winter sessions on the indoor trainer, the Tour de Thule provides a yardstick for Thule's Seymour CT riders to train harder over the winter or relish in others misery. At any rate, the racers left the flagpole at US headquarters before noon, the first rider out being a new member of the Thule Wheelman's Club.
Denise started with 20.00 minutes on the field and fought off the peloton until the very end. Waves of cyclists left the building in intervals based a secret time formula planned to get all riders on the final hill together.
After a 13.3 mile course through rolling hills, past Clark Library, and back home, Thule's number crunchers had it right, as the last hill had over 10 riders climbing for top position.
First place finisher Peter Pell had the following to
say about his victory, "Clearly I have been
sandbagging to get a better start time, and my cleaver
rues has again paid off in a big event".
Pell also credited a pre-ride stretch and
expert mechanical work of product manager Darren Synder.
In total, 17 riders took the challenge of Tour De Thule 2006 - all who participated or cheered from the sidelines had a great time and are already in training for 2007.

How do you get a bunch of people from Hawaii excited? Take them to Colorado and show them Elk, complete with those "special berries." It was our kids first time in Colorado and they had a blast fishing, playing in snow, chasing squirrels, watching elk, and freezing in 40 degree weather! We'll never forget this trip!

Slatyfork was great! Snow and rain in October wasn't the best weather for biking, but we had a blast anyway. We only took two cars so mounting the bikes on top was the only was to accomodate the seven of us. Having only 5 trays and a week until we left, RacknRoad hooked us up with the 2 trays we needed to make this trip unforgetable. Thanks!

The end of the summer in our family means a long vacation on the Island of Martha's Vineyard. MV is haven for outdoor family fun.

An Over Sand Permit is required to drive out on the beach through the Trustees of Reservations These guys do an unelieveable job preserving numerous sites throught Massachusettes of prime scenic and ecological value.

I have got to give some advise here; If you have never been to Alta, on a powder day, you need to MAKE it happen. The energy and aura exuding from everyone waiting for that first chair will make you forget anything other than that moment. beware, it is contagious! this first pic is sticking the landing from the top of Eddy's High Nowhere. I thought I was really cool right before this pic was taken, right up until a fellow freeheeler climbed up, clicked in and threw a 60 foot telecopter just left of where I dropped in. no thinking, no hesitation, step in and huck it, land and outta sight in 4 turns, awesome to see. wish I got it on film.
Take 3 good friends fly out and hit the snow as good as could be for 4 days (Brighton, Snowbird, Snowbasin and Alta) in late January. makes me a little envious of the folks that live in this epic place. after all, where else can you ski "the greatest snow on earth"

Travelers: Chris Roberts | | Origin: Connecticut
Destination: Green River Narrow
The Green River Narrows that runs between Hendersonville, NC and Saluda, NC is one of the premier class V stretches of whitewater in the world. That is a pretty big statement but when you consider these three criteria, than I think you will agree; 1.) damn controlled year round, so it runs at a good level more than most any other river in the country, 2.) warm water for 8 months of the year and just chilly, for you westerners, the other four months, and lastly but definately not least, 3.) Class V action with these two world famous rapids, shown in these pics Gorilla and Sunshine. If you have never been on the Green and you are a solid boater, than I am sure it is on your list.

I think I am number one!! Moab, Utah is known as one of the premiere places in the U.S. where base jumping is not illegal. Due to the incredible rock that abounds in this area, year after year Moab is consistently a favored exit point. If base jumping is your gig, this is the place to be.

How do you celebrate your 45th birthday? Well for me it was with my best friend, Ellen on an Alaskan cruise going on a helicopter tour over the glaciers and dog sledding in Juneau and rafting down a Eagle reserve in Skagway, Alaska and more. I couldn't of spent a more wonderful way to mark my 45th birthday then getting out into new ventures in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Absolutely Beautiful!!

Destination: Clearwater Lake, Ontario
Photo taken 9/30/06 at a boat launch on Clearwater Lake, Ontario as we were ready to leave after a week's vacation. The 845 Escape looks good and works even better than it looks. Proved to be much easier to use than our old method of tying individual things to the roof with rope. We drove all night through the rain and everything stayed dry. Also no noticeable change from normal gas mileage. By the way we caught bass, walleye, northern pike and lake trout - and really had a good time!

Destination: Vegas ,St. George, Goblin valley, Zion and Moab
This last spring break my Three, 17 year old amigo's and I drove to Vegas ,St. George, Goblin valley, Zion and Moab together in a single cab 4.0 old school Toyota it was soo small. we had two in the front and two in the bed... but it's not too nuts cause we had a shell over our truck.. we put or stuff in a bungee net on the shell... we got like 16 miles to the gallon cause the truck couldn’t hack the weight. we slept at a bar in Vegas and the rest of the time in the back of truck .. it was super tight so we played rock paper scissors for the person who had to sleep some where else.. We cut the trip short cause we didn’t have enough food or gas money but it was still way sick...
Product of choiceThe bungee was awesome. we didn’t have to leave the guitar or any stuff behind because it fit everything. It was also nice not having to pull trailer
