| 11.22.08 | MAMMOTH MEN 3 | AMERICAN SOUTHWEST | posted by Jeremy Parsons | website | email |
Mammoth Men v 3 closes today after 6 epic days of fun and frivolity in the American Southwest.
And what an experience! I count myself lucky to have 11 guys in my life that push and encourage me artistically, inspire me in business....and also shooting guns and sand sledding are awesome. But underneath the craziness of our shenanigans, there is heart, and passion, and adventure, and the soul of a man. There is something about being in the open that awakens that in me - and I found it most evident in simply looking up. The city can suffocate. The city can feel like a "snow globe." The city can narrow your view of what's truly out there. And my heart needed a broader view. So I left on this trip, and quickly my heart awakened. And I saw this happen by looking up. Looking up, I see my place in life. Looking up, I find deeper purpose. Looking up, I find full life welling up inside of me; that which makes me want to run into deeper adventure, and joyfully EXPERIENCE all it brings me. So this post is simply a reflection of what I saw when I looked up. And when I look at these images, I'm moved. They're all from various locations on our trip. |
Much love, blog reader. Keep living the lifestyle. |

growing up, do your remember waking up on a weekend morning to the smell of a hot breakfast cooking in the kitchen? maybe some snow falling outside? a hot fire in the stove?
today didn't begin like that. we woke to the smell of engine smoke hanging thick in the air, the bus lurching forward at a BREAKNECK 7 mph and resembling the space shuttle, with the plume of smoke we were emitting. |
We limped the bus over the mountain pass and coasted into the first sign of civilization we could find. Tres Piedras, NM.
...not much there.... |
Jory. Lumberjack. Obviously. |
We met a couple guys who have an art gallery in their home. A totally interesting place - here's a couple pieces. |

our bus ride today was supposed to be no more than 4 hours. but as we arose from our slumber, we discovered that our bus driver took us 4 hours in the wrong direction. OOPS. no matter, we arrived and shot the crap out of antelope canyon - one of the most beautiful places i've been in a long, long time. |
