WELCOME TO WYOMING!

I'll be your tour guide, Riley...

Riley says: "Keep Wyoming beautiful... Don't move here."

YELLOWSTONE... HI-HOOO

Welcome To The World's First National Park

Riley says: “If you go to a party, and you want to be the popular one at the party, do this: Wait until no one is looking, then kick a burning log out of the fireplace onto the carpet. Then jump on top of it with your body and yell, "Log o' fire! Log o' fire!" I've never done this, but I think it'd work.”

RILEY GOES TO RILEY, A RILEY TALE

Welcome to Riley, OR. Here, if you're named Riley, I guarantee you'll be much more excited about your visit to Riley than the woman working behind the register at the local convenience/archery store.

Riley says: "I travel not to go anywhere, but to go."

AWESOME! TOTALLY AWESOME!

Be the board...


All I need are some tasty waves and I'm fine.

Riley says: "Surfing's not a sport, it's a way of life, you know, a hobby. It's a way of looking at that wave and saying, "Hey bud, let's party!"

MONKEY, n. An arboreal animal which makes itself at home in genealogical trees.

RILEY, n. Destined to become the baddest monkey in the jungle.

DO YOU HAVE A LICENSE FOR THAT STACHE?

And... You do.

Riley says: "Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely."

CRAGSTACHE

Riley says: "I scrambled to the top of the precipice where Andy was waiting. "That was fun," I said. "You bet it was," said Andy. "Let's climb higher." "No," I said. "I think we should be heading back now." "We have time," Andy insisted. I said we didn't, and Andy said we did. We argued back and forth like that for about 20 minutes, then finally decided to head back. I didn't say it was an interesting story."

CONSIDER IT LOCATED

Check. Check. And Check.

Beautiful!

Riley says: "If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results."

That 'stache is coming in nicely...

Thirty-one days of glory. And... Go!

AMERICAN BIRKEBEINER: TAKE TWO

You can feel it on the rise
You can see it in their eyes
The tension seems to saturate the air.
At times you almost feel alone
That wind is chilling you to the bone
But look around you now, we're seven thousand strong...

Let the Birkie grab your soul, push you down the trail, help you lock on your goal.
Let the iron-thighed clusters keep the pace moving strong
So Cable to Hayward won't last very long
As you go, through the snow
With the seed of speed, being all that you need
Let the Birkebeiner grab your soul.

The masses start to move
Every skier tries to find their groove
That elusive pace that each one wants to wear
The up-hills look so high
And Fire Tower seeks to split the sky
But as you summit her, she'll sing your victory song.

Riley says: "Life is either a great adventure or nothing."

A PEAK PHYSICAL SPECIMEN

Gorgeous, Absolutely Gorgeous.

Riley says: "Life... It tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself to meet our expectations."

PAY THE COST

Sometimes you just have to grab a crocodile by the jowls and say, "Listen here Lyle... I don't care that you have a bite force of more than 5,000 pounds per square inch, weigh one ton and have a four-chambered heart... I'm the boss."

Riley says: "Dream as if you will live forever, live as if you will die today."

ANGELIC SENDFEST

Hells yes angels can send...

Riley says: "If you climb up a tree, you must climb down the same tree."

FOREVER THE EPITOME OF SELFLESSNESS AND HUMILITY

I am so proud of you, I will miss you so much, and I love you.
