mardi gras

Hello all strange fans. I am writing y'all from New Orleans and I am now one year older. This has been my first Mardi Gras. And it was as crazy as everyone said it was going to be. And we did somehow play some disc golf. Lafreniere Park is the New Orleans DGC. It had 24 holes. They were pretty much in an ope… Continue

cross country carpool

Before we delve into a summary of a winter of disc golf in Oregon it would be appropriate to briefly mention how I arrived back on the west coast from South Carolina.
Immediately following the final round of the USDGC (congrats Nikko) Kris Zahm and I helped guide Jay Harbour of Huk Lab and bad ass Liz Carr through the laberynth that is Charlotte's Web DGC. It was a wonderful conclusion to an introduction of east coast golf fueled by motivational factors rooted by Strange Disc… Continue

Gas Moneys lol

Monday, January 25, 2010 It is right around the corner from tax season. And i could really use that money on this trip plus I got a call for a two day job for this Friday and Saturday. It would help us big time with gas on the trip. So with all that it looks like we could be on the road Feb 2nd. That leaves two weeks to get to Mardi Gras, and my birthday. I will keep the same schedule but just change the dates. Wednesday the 27th of Jan, the Winnebago goes to get a whole new muffler. So i'll blo… Continue

Getting back on track

Hello all. Well today is Jan 22nd, 2010. I left off 9 days ago and didn't even Make it two miles down the interstate 85. But luckily we had my buddy Chris with us and after he working his magic, he got us off the side of the road once again. So we had to change the carburetor in the parking lot of Advance Auto Parts. Still just barely made it home. So we replaced the hole distributor, the cap, the fuel pump,and the starter relay. And low and behold It was just the distributor was the problem the… Continue

wonderful start to a bad day

, 2010 Bad start The day started about the best day of my life. But things changed real fast. As soon as we hit our first main interstate, disaster struck. Trying to get up to speed, the carburetor up to the fast pace of I85. We made it only two and a half miles until we were dead stopped on the side of the road. But luckily our mechanic Chris Cirou saved us once again. He did his magic and made it go 20 miles an hour top speed. We made it off of I85 outside of Pendleton. After traveling at a t… Continue

So tomorrow is coming up fast. We are headed out to begin our 3000 mile trip. How much stuff will four grown men need is the question of the day.

Then a short two hour ride to our first course ( White Oak Park Dallas GA). We are going to hit two courses tomorrow before we find a place to sleep in or around Heflin , AL. We were thinking… Continue

giving the bago a bath

So hello all. Hopefully we are leaving with in the week. They say it might snow tonight so I got the heat on in the Winnebago. Trying to test the waters i guess. I hope we are going south fast enough to not need the heat a lot. But I heard that this winter might be a record breaking winter. So as soon as we get to Mardi Gras the better. Then we head to Florida as fast as possible. So dealing with the cold is going to be a test for all of us. Until next time Robbiepitzer@live.com Continue

Getting closer to leaving on my trip

Had a great day today. Started the day with a trip to the flea market. Got some long johns and some wool socks. They say this winter might be record breaking cold temperatures. So trying to get ready for the cold. Well after the Flea market, Chris installed a new starter relay. And got the bago to start up like a champ. Then took it to get the oil changed. So nothing left other then to clean the winne and collect our last paychecks. Then we are off. Hopefully in the next Five days. So I'll let t… Continue

bad starter relay

Hello all. I have been working on the winne today. Went out this morning and tried to start it amd to my surprise it didn't start. Seems that the starter relay is not getting a good enough connection. So we cleaned it off with some sand paper. Still to no result. So I had to go to Napa and order a new one. So tomorrow the winne will have a new starter relay. It seems that every new day, comes a new problem. Hopefully we find all our little problems now and not on our trip. Good news, My friend C… Continue

What Now?

Just can't stand anticlimactic conclusions. In my eyes it helps to perceive destinations as yet another journey waiting to begin. It will help my depiction of the east coast while the page is upturned with a tac as memorial weekend jumpstarted my introduction to one promising season. Feelings of jubilation rem… Continue

Amarillo

It's peculiar how nuance takes form with those imaginary state lines. Texas has the most Ford Mustangs per-capita and may be the only area where you'll find competitive disc golfers in Wrangler's. State lines within our country have certainly allowed for uniqueness of expression making these imaginary borders so defined that, in a way, they're visible. Another full circle development took place in Amarillo. While I was painting a house in Boise shortly before this trip, fellow co-worker/disc gol… Continue

Albuquerque

It's the way that late sun hits those west facing mountains as the evening light somehow draws from unknown sources of violet and crimson; it's very reminiscint of my hometown, Boise. The high winds swirling against dry summer foothills comforted me as I approached another unknown city.

Las Vegas

What happens when you get 2 big-ass corn-fed white-boys from Idaho together in the desert pumped with hops and potato byproducts? A good ole' fashion shoot out! A 21st century Goliath and King Saul. Consider it a collaboration of forces mixed with modern technology and anything getting in our way being considered unmentionable. A relentless pursuit of getting what we deserve and having a good time doing it. Till' this day I shake my head with confusion and laughter wondering why I haven't seen t… Continue

Monterey Bay

The oceans are all around us. They seem to have a slippery elusiveness the closer we get to them. It's obvious we are approaching them as the salt in the air joins the curtains of wind, meanwhile our aniticipation somehow pushes the water away like a low tide in recession. In a way its more rewarding ascending the final crest where, all in one moment, the ocean and its reflection devour the visual spectrum. Russian poet Joseph Brodsky explains water as a, "condensed form of time.… Continue

One Strange Trip

It's probably apparent by now that my blog is a bit behind schedule. If you didn't already know, I have arrived safely on the east coast where Kris Zahm and I hosted a tournament at Trophy Lakes. I thought it would be fitting to highlight a stop in real time as an intermission blog-style where at any point a line betw… Continue

San Jose

I was planning on hitting up friday night doubles and being on my way but strange member Stevo had a different itinarary planned for me. I ended up staying for the weekend and playing in a silicon valley disc golf club monthly mini tournament. It was held at both La Raza and Hellyer parks. A highway split between the two courses making it convenient to play both for the one-day event. Having the opportunity to play with some of the best players from the area forced Stevo and I to bring our A gam… Continue
