Roadtripin'

I bookmarked this blog a long time ago and traditionally check it for updates. It's the first blog I've seen that is quite like this. Adventurous, personal, fun, hip......like the modern Jack Kerouac pack from On The Road. I'd have to say the more I read it, the more I'm convinced that they're little situation is probably the most ideal around. I'm envious, but at most, I'm infatuated.

WORDS FROM THE MAMMOTH MEN:

"In the early wintery months of 2008, eight of us, who are celebrated, award-winning and downright awesome photographers from all over the country grabbed our snowboards to ride the mountains of Mammoth, California . This marked the beginning of what is now known as...wait for it...The Mammoth Men. What ensued during that getaway was a week filled with adventure, spontaneity, hijinks and storied tales. A bond was forged amongst us men and a commitment made to doing it again, and doing it often!

During 2008, we, the Mammoth Men hit the road again for two more trips. Only on these trips, we loaded up in a Prevost rock star tour bus. On the first trip, we headed up the California Coast for five days of ruckus and shared it on our traffic happy blog. With the success of the first trip notched on our belts, we then ventured into the American Southwest documenting an epic amount of glorious insanity. The blog following continued even after these two trips had ended and garnered much media attention in the blogosphere and in magazine publications. At the start of 2009, in the fourth, and most recent installment of the Mammoth Men, we bundled up and headed to the greatest snow on earth - Park City, Utah. The Mayhem unfolded as we shacked up in a ginormous cabin and proceeded to melt the faces and snow off of the surrounding inhabitants and terrain as we went snowmobiling, snowboarding, sledding, indoor skydiving, and even got a jeep stuck in the Great Salt Lake! The Utah trip also marked The Mammoth Men’s first contest to raise money for two of our favorite charities! Together with the blog and Twitter followers, we were able to raise over $3000 for charity!

On Mammoth Men 5, we are heading to the mecca of Southern Hospitality - The Dirty South! Join us as we embark on another epic adventure in search of the BBQ-est BBQ, the craziest cajun food, the most lavish plantation, the classiest croquet game, late night cow tipping, and, what was that...sheep riding??? Yep, cause that’s how we roll!"
