LOL at the suggestion that you can't use the ball to stay up. That reminds of Stoerner of course. Does anybody know if that really is a rule - that you can't brace yourself by pushing the ball against the ground?
It's the most active state I've lived in for kids and people actually getting outside and doing things. Time for a road trip. From where I am, I can be in Yellowstone or the Tetons in about 5 hours or south 5 hours to really great Nat and State Parks. Rarely rains from mid May through October.It sure is beautiful out west. Very diverse landscapes as well.
