We just got back from a weekend in the Mountains!!!

This saturday morning I was having a very nice PM conversation about my Sony WM-F1 with Nicole (Walkgirl)
when all of a sudden my wife got a text message "beep" from her cousin saying that it was snowing in the mountains!!! :w00t:

I was taking a shower and was getting ready to spend a nice Boombox Weekend at home (repair, music-listening, etc.)
but when she told me about it, I told her that we should go! Specially since Jerly (my wife) has never seen the snow. :huh:

So we had a VERY quick breakfast and headed to the mountains packing only the basics:
water, sandwiches, and my Japanese Victor M50 - Jerly took her iPod nano :annoyed: |-) :lol:

Since my little car's stereo died quite a while ago (I know!!! I'm looking for a Pioneer KP-9000) I put "Victor" in the back seat with some fresh "D" food and drove while listening to some original cassettes. The first one I popped in was one that came from Vienna's FleaMeister Roman - Michael Jackson Off the Wall!!! :stereo:

We drove about 2-3 hours high into the Mountains and the cold was getting REAL intense (Note: I've been to Colorado while snowing, this sh!t was way more intense, it's super-humid AND pretty high altitude... very little oxygen... but Michael was hittin' them high notes! :lol:

So when we got there we met up with Jerly's cousin and a young aunt that were there too.
Here are some pics we took, ENJOY!!!

Gettin' ready for the cold, puttin' the boots on...

Aleia was the first photographed when we got there with her cousin Jean-Paul... it ain't snowing :-/

Those big plants in the background are called "Frailejon" (Espeletia) they grow in the very high Andes.

Hi Stranj!!! Very nice!
I love being in the mountains!
I had my JVC-PC-55JW up to 11,000 feet in Wyoming! I put the batteries in backwards though as a UFO was up there shining a super powerful light on my truck from like 7-10 miles away! :-O :choco: :huh: :-O

BTW-Didn't you all know that Venezualan women are beautiful!! :yes:
Nice photos & yes I know first hand about the M-50,1 of my favorite camping boomers!
Have a great week-Jeff. :-) :-D
