I'm finally getting to those summer goals.
First completed goal: take a road trip (as long as 12 hours in the car driving as fast as possible alone blasting Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day counts...)
Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Anywhere in the U.S.A.
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
9:30 AM:
Leaving the Outer Sunset in an overly-packed car.
If I ever turned around while driving, this was my view:
Be careful opening the back hatch! My entire life might fall out...
9:45 AM: Risk my life taking a picture of the SF skyline... Good bye, SF! I will miss you!
11:30 AM: First views of Mt. Shasta (look closely on the horizon)! (Note to reader: the following pictures are terrible for the obvious reasons that I took them on my iphone while driving. And there will be an increasing amount of bug junk on the windshield as the trip continues...)
12:30 AM: Getting closer to Shasta.
2:45 PM: Welcome to Oregon... and to endless driving frustration and irritation.... (and 3 hours of Green Day...)
2:45- 8:00: I HATE OREGON AND THEIR RIDICULOUS SPEED LIMITS.... (in case you can't see that, it does say 50 MPH. Kill me now. I also took NO pictures in oregon because of my road rage... it was all consuming...)
8:00 PM: Made it to Washington and crossed the Mighty Columbia. (If you look closely in the middle of the lane I'm driving in, you can see "Entering Washington.)
8:01 PM: My love for Washington is renewed (the sign says 70! YES!!!)
9:45 PM: Made it home. :)
A few lessons from taking a solitary road trip:
1. I have road rage. Especially in Oregon. When drivers are going 45 mph. In the passing lane.
2. It's hard to take pictures, drink coffee, and drive at the same time, which is why it is probably illegal.
3. I love the following song. I listened to it 8 times... in a row.
