Well it’s been a little while. I can’t believe January is over… Where does the time go?? This has been a really busy month for me. I have been on business trip after business trip. Then my brother in law had an accident and I have been busy helping the family out with the situation. I hope the rest of the year isn’t as crazy as this month as been.

The highlight of my month was attending the Detroit North American Auto Show. I love cars so this was the perfect place for me to be. All of the worlds automakers were there showing there latest cars and also future designs and ideas. It was great. Right now the American automakers are not doing good. I think most people know Asian automakers like Toyota and Honda are growing and being very successful. BUT I was surprised to see the good designs coming from the American Automakers this year. Actually, I thought they were much better than the Asian designs. I usually like the Asian designs better. However, this year my feelings have changed a little. Many American Automakers are going retro. That means they are making designs that kind of reflect the past but also look futuristic. I think they are going to start having some success with these designs.

Still, my 2 favorite cars at the auto show this year is the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the New Chevy Camaro. After I saw the Toyota I thought I need to sell my jeep and buy one. But I won’t. Not this year. I will wait and see how good it really is.

I am already looking forward to summer with the new cars coming out. Also the new motorcycles…. Hmmm…… I really think I need a new motorcycle…

This is called "Balancing Rock" This is because the rock looks like it is balancing and could fall off. But its been there for hundreds and hundreds of years... maybe someday it will fall off....

Also, a picture of the what some of the beautiful roads we can drive on.... and my car...heheh..

The Symbol of Utah...

This is called "Delicate Arch" It is the symbol of Utah. You will see a picture of this arch on almost all Utah license plates. The license plate on the back of all my cars has a picture of this. It is the most famous symbol in Utah. It is very large. If you look, you can see my friend Koji and Mika standing at the bottom.

Here is another picture of me and of Koji while he is taking my picture on top of Lion's Back.

Here is a pics of me standing on a rock cliff / hill called "Lions Back". Its hard to believe but I have climbed this in a jeep!!!
Fresh Air ~~~~~~~~~~

I took some friends to Arches National Park in Southern Utah during the holidays. We drove around and did some hiking. The air was fresh and the scenery was amazing!! I usually go there every spring to play in jeeps. This was my first time during winter. But it was awsome!! I think I want to make it some kind of tradition for myself to go there every year during the holidays. It was really nice to get away from all the people and shopping malls and the TV!!!!
I really didn't want to come back. But its only about a 4 hour drive from my house so I can go there often if I like. I will be going back in April for the Moab Jeep Safari (4 wheel festival) and do some hiking and biking as well... I am already starting to plan my trip. I am ready to go back!!! Check out my pics!!!
