Oh what a day,
Which was a monday by the way!!
Monday I got up put my stuff in the car and I was off to Arizona. As soon as I got out of fresno the fog set in, visibility of around 200 feet id say. But that doesnt stop cars from slowing down. never has probrably never will.
It was a nice drive believe it or not to Arizona. It went by faster than I had expected, much due to the fact that I had an awesome intense suspenseful audio book to keep me company. It was London Bridges by James Patterson. (great book, listen to it every time I make this trip.) these books are what makes road trips bearable.
Anyways I stopped in Barstow and ate at In&Out burger. Really wasnt hungry but there wasnt much for many miles so deicided you know its past lunch and you only have had a bagel today, so i decided to eat. Later that evening after the sun had gone down I stopped at a small town called seligman stuck out in the middle of nowhere. Well being the smart person that I am after going on the round about trying to find my way back to the highway, got on going the wrong way. I didnt realize this till I saw the Los angeles in x amount of miles. So I thought to myself "this is not right" (you know in that mind thinking deep sounding voice in the back of your head)
Then I thought shoot when can I get back going on the other way. It wasnt for another 20 miles that before I had the oppurtunity to turn around. So I got to pass seligman twice yesterday.
As I passed through Flagstaff and up through Lake Mary Rd. I was able to be the only car traveling on it. The stars were so bright and illuminated the night sky with brilliance. I wanted to get out and look at the stars but I was in shorts and it was a woppin 28 degrees outside and I really wanted to get to my parents house, so onward I pressed. As I arrived the junction of Lake Mary Rd and Highway 87 there was a lovely Elk in the Middle of the rd. Just decided to stand there for another 30 seconds or so as i waited for him to move. Never saw one in person. They are quite big. Wish I could have got to my camera faster!
After about a twelve hour drive I safely rolled into my parents driveway. It felt great to get out of that seat.
When I woke up this morning I was greeted with breakfast which consisted of toast and boiled eggs. Then the next activity was my dad and I checking out the christmas lights. So we set those up which took a bit and two trips to Home Depot. It was a good day with the parents.
I just wonder what tomorrow will have in store for us!!
One thing is for sure must make pies for thanksgiving and play horse shoes with my padre!!
