Dear Steve and Ananda:
If the moons are aligned and the stars are in agreement Lynne and I would like to take you out for dinner in Flagstaff on Sunday March 5th. The American Luggage Show is in Las Vegas on March 7 to 9, and we are planning on a driving holiday through the Grand Canyon area and down to Sedona. We will fly into Las Vegas and rent a car on Thursday,
March 2nd. I would appreciate any advice on interesting areas to see between Las Vegas and Flagstaff.
We are both very interested in historical sites. As it is a holiday, it is not a suitable time for an intensive but I can’t pass up the opportunity to see you.

ABSOLUTELY!
my cell (confidential) is ***/***/****
between LV and Flag? sheeit…ain’t nothing but CHI FILLED SPACE…a PRANIC OCEAN between here and there…
here is the way to go;
get the hell out of Vegas and head toward Student Garrity’s Training Palace on the shores of Lake Mead, Boulder City. Then, drive out to Hoover Dam…take in the sights…that friggin’ chunk of concrete barricade is a massive and bloody testimony to the greed of the White Man over Ma Earth. i admit, it’s pretty impressive nonetheless. the little 20-minute movie thing in the Visitor Center is worthwhile. sadly, you will see the effects of the 30-year drought that we are in here in the Southwest. the water level is over 1,000′ lower than normal. breathe cowboy, breathe.
after that, if you can talk Lynne into driving………YOU can crank on your bicycle, if you want, the 80k’s of hotter than all hell stretch of Hwy 93 to Kingman, AZ. i did it once. Ananda picked me up just outside of Kingman, AZ like i was melted popsicle. felt like one too…jeezo. now, having said that much… there IS great sport climbing in Kingman, otherwise, it ain’t much to write home about.
From Kingman, just point your pony East on I40 and enjoy the Ascent up and onto the Mogollon Plateau. You’ll feel the Vortex of Flag/Grand Canyon/Sedona at about Seeligman, AZ. by the time you pass Devil Dawg Road, sheeit…your cells will be humming with the OMMMMMM!!!!!! Better double up on the SUNRIDER herbs, cuz once the CHI hits you baby…it’s all over!
By the town of Bellemont, you are in my Daily Practice Grounds…the Sacred Peak will be on your left, and i will send Brother Raven to escort you. the Sacred Peak, will be hopefully PLASTERED with snow…and She will vibrate like the giant 12,633′ Crystal that She is! yup, them will be my snowshoe tracks on Her sensual left shoulder…look hard, cowboy!
{Coach never misses an opportunity for a First Ascent…here he is on an overhang at Walnut Canyon…}
If you arrive in Flag early? Definitely take Lynne and check out the DEEPLY HISTORICAL and HUGELY SPIRITUAL “Walnut Canyon”…just past Flag a few minutes:
http://www.nps.gov/waca/
It is an Athletic tour of killer cool Anasazi dwellings etched directly into soaring sandstone pedestals teetering over a Pranic convulsion of riparian beauty.
More time? Just hop back toward Flag, then head north on 89 to Wuptaki National Monument and Sunset Crater…place just VIBES!
http://www.nps.gov/wupa/
{Ananda running beneath Sunset Crater, breathing chi and being FREE!}
great trails branch off the road to a plethora of Anasazi sites, including my Sacred Place For Inhaling The Nation’s Most Potent Pran; the “PranHole” at
http://www.nps.gov/wupa/home.htm
see DL Archives under “Pran Hole” …oh, and the road you will be driving on? That is the race course for a local cycling race that i tried to press the peleton into integrity by launching a maniacal solo break for over 1.5 hours (see DL Archives; August ’05).
oh…and don’t forget to enter the STILL ETHERICALLY ACTIVE ancient Ballcourt just north of the Pran Hole and do some Ai Imawa or yoga postures in there…the Ancient Ones will Talk to you as you breathe into emptiness!
You want me to go on??!
dude…you oughtta just high tail it the hell outta Vegas, ditch those Luggage Convention bozo’s and git up here and start VIBING THE MOUNTAIN CHI, baby!!!!!!!
anyway,
you travel with Heightened Awareness and give me a call when you hit town…
love,
