Well, CO has the best beer, climbing, and skiing, but it’s a little early for good skiing and a little chilly for climbing… So I guess that leaves beer.[/quote]

I’ll give you that Colorado has some good skiing, but beer? Ha!

Oregon had great climbing, and the BEST beer.[/quote]

They make beer in Oregon? Really?

Does anybody besides people in Oregon know this?[/quote]

They do make great beer in Oregon (not as great as Montana’s Kettlehouse though) but they also make so many dirty hippies - old fashioned hippies and new wave hippies - that their fabulous brewing skills are overshadowed by a plethora of granolas stumblin’ 'round just looking ridiculously stupid.[/quote]

It’s true.

They made me stop shaving.

Texas is pretty lacking compared to the rest of those areas. I would recomend hueco tanks SP and the big bend area if youre going to Texas.

Wait so Texas is lacking. Lets look at that you can actually perform all the activities listed in one state OR you can go to multiple states to accomplish your list of activities?

[/quote]

Most every outside activity in Texas is subpar.

Climbing is poor(except for hueco) and very spread out.

Hunting is a business and overated.

skiing and ice climbing…lol

Fishing(bay and deep sea) is probably the only bright spot.

The mountain biking is a joke. Even tho palo duro is good.

The economy and people in texas are pretty awesome. That’s about it.

[/quote]
You are very oblivious. Obviously.

Climbing is excellent.

We literally have some of the best hunting, ever.

Who the fuck likes cold?

Gulf of Mexico fishing is the best in the world, you are correct.

Austin area has fantastic MB trails

And thanks, I do kick ass.[/quote]

lol. Hueco tanks is excellent. Enchanted rocked is okay, but super short. If you live in Houston there isn’t much climbing nearby. So your probably talking out your ass. I’ve been to about every world class climbing destination in the lower 48.

Best hunting ever? No. Paying 15k to shoot a 170" whitetail ain’t hunting. Its farming.

The Continental shelf being so close makes the coast a primo destination not mention the reds and sea trout fishery in the bays.

Who likes the cold? Me

Fantastic? You don’t have any fucking mountains. What trails are so good?

The people I like live on farms and ranches. They’re good people who do things their own way.

you bang ugly Asians and spend too much time posting on T-Nation[/quote]
Why would you pay $15,000 to shoot a fucking whitetail!? Jesus, dude I was kidding about the oblivion earlier. You could literally shoot a damn giraffe for that on one of our many exotic ranches.

You can shoot a white tail for the cost of a .270 bullet. Not to mention mule and axis deer as well if you are in to deer. If you are lucky you can bag a mexican pot/cocaine smuggler and be set for life, jk.

That asian wasn’t a ten but she was good looking and you know it. Plus her husband watched and cheered me on. Was a first for me. I would have fucked a retarded midget for the experience. I do spend a lot of time here though, you right.

Thanks to the late steve jobs I can do lots of things while doing lots of things.

Also, we have the rocky mountains. We re-named them to our liking though because that’s the kind of thing we do.

Anyways, Texas > than every where else.

I would never pay 15k to shoot a trophy white-tail. Some people pay up to 20k for a 200" B and C deer. The public hunting opportunities in Texas are extremely limited. Maybe if you own a ranch or lease at an exorbitant rate.(4k a gun) all you need is a .270. haha, build a bigger wall and shoot anyone that tries to come across.

Really? Good lookn? Shit man we have different standards. I’m not hating tho.

No mountains was a reference to mountain biking around Austin. And I’m well aware that Guadeloupe peak is highest point in TX but its basically in new mexico.

spoken like a true Texan. More power to ya. I just haven’t figured out what there is to be so damn proud of

My company is the national medical director for NRG you know the guys who own Reliant.

I keep telling my boss WTF where are my tickets.

Well, no part of Texas is N. Mexico so that doesn’t make sense. Plus if you’ve been paying 15k for whitetail I don’t think you’ve had an accurate representation.

For the record, I’ll take you snipe hunting for 5k. Unlimited Snipes. You can bring the whole family for 7k.

Also for the record and then back to beer, I bang women you probably jack off too. But I’m not always picky.

Real Ale: Blanco, TX, brewed with Hill Country spring water. Delish.

SteelyD · October 11, 2011, 7:55pm

We you say “go kayaking” (or rafting) and “go rock climbing”, do you mean as a complete never-has-done-either, a novice with some experience, or an intermediate?

Do you want to see “Americana” or natural monuments/parks? Water?

Jesus Christ, it’s a big country, dude, throw us a bone!!!

I don’t know about the best beer, but definitely agree there is some GREAT beer in the north-left coast.

wow thanks for all the input. And yea Yellowstone is def. an interest but in reality im probably going to have to wait to go north to montana, wyoming, etc.

Ive heard great things about Austin, TX and was thinking this as a possible trip…

(I live in FL) FL to austin, austin to grand canyon, grand canyon to vegas, vegas to venice CA, and from venice back to fl, possible stopping through tempe (ive heard good things).

Any thoughts on this trip? Any other places along this route?

edit and I do realize it is getting colder but like I said in the original post this may be my best chance to do this, meaning in the next 2-3 weeks*[/quote]
I would suggest going to San Diego if you are going to be that close. San Diego is much nicer than LA. Venice beach is full of a bunch of hippie stoners.

Dude you don’t know much about hunting. If you did, you’d know wilson’s snipe is a federally regulated migratory game bird and has a bag limit and season. Nice reference though.

Don’t be so sure of that. Numbers don’t mean shit, especially if you fucking 4s and 5’s all the time…To each his own though. Someone has to distract or fuck the ugly friend. For your efforts I commend you sir.
