21st Birthday (SNOW filled drive in the MTNS)!

rotarybeat1287 · 12-01-2008, 09:39 PM

Hey guys,

Today is my 21st birthday and I woke up super early to get the most out of my day. First thing, my boss called me @ 6:45am to harass me for taking the day off and getting my 8 hours for "birthday pay"! I was already up. lol. But decided to gas up and grab a RedBull. I made 3 CD's that were perfect for a full day of driving.

1. HI-NRG and Italo-Disco Mix
2. Dubstep All-stars Vol. Mixes
3. Underground Trance and Techno

First off... I made my way up the usual run... It was so nice out! Weather was perfect and I was the only one on the mountain.

Then it was off towards the picture-esque lake that I always visit when I'm in this area.

one of my favorite mountains to hike! Whiteside Mountain.

another ridge shot @ 200mm

Finally some fluffy stuff! Had to take a restroom break! lol.

Bridal Veil falls

back in Highlands... the sun started to peep out.

Thanks for looking! Hope you guys enjoyed! That area is getting hit pretty bad right about now as I type this but doubt you'll see another thread w/ more pictures of my FC there. lol.

Great pics, make sure to submit the hi-res versions for RCCD or the Calendar.

21 is a big number, why aren't you drunk yet?

Happy Bday!

I'm using a Nikon D80. MB-D80 battery L-Grip and that was shot w/ my Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. Thanks for all of the compliments guys! I'm about to upload the High-Res shots to my flickr so whoever wants them for backgrounds can use them.
