Snowkiting With Blake - Exploring the Blizzard Aftermath in Upstate New York
Blake from MACkite here on my way to Buffalo, which does not seem like the best idea. I had already planned it and had my whole trip booked, and then there's this catastrophic blizzard of the century that just hit. My heart goes out to everyone that had to go through that over there at Christmas break, and all the lives lost. So, so sad and tragic. I can't imagine having something like that happen over the holidays.
I was going to go home to Key West, but I got this great opportunity to go work with Buffalo and Niagara for tourism and my good friends Kevin and Christian. We're going to go do as many sports as possible in 48 hours and there will be a lot of snow, so I'm looking forward to it.
I missed my flight because it was cancelled due to the storm, and a lot of roads are closed. So I'm taking the south route and renting a car from Detroit. I'm about to hit the road and it should be interesting, so we'll see how it goes.

All right, I made it to Buffalo! It was not as bad as I thought going out. An easy drive, no problem at all. So here we are, about to go on an adventure...
