funny things

Some particularly amusing things mom and I have been noticing.

  1. Mustangs are everywhere. If you've played the game Colin taught me - Truck, then you know what I'm talking about. I'm constantly saying "STANG." Tennessee and New Mexico were particularly over-run. Go there if you want to win the game.

  2. Campsites are difficult to navigate, so they always give you a map. They aren't really difficult, but they give you a map anyway.

  3. The mountains of Utah are hard to drive through.

  4. Turning around can actually be kind of fun. If you do it as much as mom and I do. Which is an absurd amount.

  5. Google maps gets us lost more than we would if we just looked at a normal map. BUT, we like knowing where we are and being the little blue dot following the blue/purple path. It feels re-assuring to be following the little purple path.

  6. Telling people you're on your way to Bellingham, WA gets you into some interesting conversations.

Thats all for now. We're currently in Kanab, Utah. Which is pronounced - Kah-nah-ab. We asked! We just drove 5 and half hours to get here from Arches National Park. Arches is beautiful. SOOO beautiful. We took tons of pictures and will be uploading them momentarily, if the photo uploader thing works again.

So far we've driven about 2,000 miles. It doesn't feel like it at all sometimes, and then some other times it feels like we've driven 5 million miles. And we still have a whole bunch of miles left to go. Im not sure how many. We're not even sure where we're going to stay tomorrow night - We couldn't make reservations for a place near the grand canyon, so we might go to vegas. or outside of vegas. Dont know yet - we'll see where the wind takes us. It will be an interesting journey, thats for sure.

Anne - if you're reading this, I'm in a hotel watching "An Officer and A Gentleman" and I still don't really get it...
