I think I drove more consecutive hours today than I did on any of our stretches driving across the country.
If you haven't heard, I'm on the road headed to Trail West Young Life Camp in Buena Vista, Colorado!
After the MOST amazing parting night in Los Angeles (i.e. A yogurt establishment crawl akin to a pub crawl except more toppings and frozen dessert!) I hit the road early this morning and drove north through the desert and UFO landing strip that is the space between LA and Las Vegas.
I waved at the Sin City and continued on my way passing hilarious signs (Zzyzx Road, Fresh Alien Jerky, and Elk Crossing, to name a few) and eventually came to beautiful canyon and plateau landscape. The sunset was amazing over the red clay rocks and shadowy gorges sprawling out from my rest stop on the side of the road.
I eventually turned east across Utah. Where I still am. I'm beginning to realize I'm not used to a state being so big that I have to be careful where I stop so as not to get stuck needing something during a stretch of "No Service 110 miles." Another hilarious sign in my long travels today.
Anyway, I've got a bit more driving to do tomorrow but then I officially arrive at my new Young Life job! So excited!
But missing all my lovely LA folks! And Phunky Northern Virginians!
More to come soon!
PS. Thought I'd include Exhibit A, here, so as to dazzle you all with my mattress storing skills.
