Here in Oklahoma...
Well I'm two days into my roadtrip and already I'm stuck with bad weather. I had no idea the southwesterny states were so snowy. Thankfully the snow wasn't on the roads in Arizona, New Mexico and for the most part Texas but now about 20 miles into Oklahoma (in Elk City), I'm hitting something apparently called freezing fog. All I know is it's night and I'm finding it almost impossible to see which makes for an incredibly scary travel experience so I'm done for the night unless it clears up. Right now I'm using the free wireless in a McDonalds that thankfully has a place to plug in my laptop and hard drive.
I did get a chance to stop by the Grand Canyon and that was awe inspiring. Just so amazing to think that it's been around for 2 billion years. I took some video of it and read Strata which still is brilliant and of course especially relevant to read it where it takes place. It was just so pretty and huge and really cool. I also for the first time had to stop driving for some animals! I saw a pair of turkeys and quickly slowed down. They were very cute.
Nothing much reporting on the drive down. I thankfully ran into minimal traffic so it was pretty quick. I stopped early last night because I only got four hours of sleep the night before. I've seen a lot of accidents on the way down, including two trucks but so far nothing very scary has happened to me besides one truck deciding to try to pass someone right when I was trying to pass him or her. I slowed down, no harm done so it's all good.
I'll probably be here for awhile so if you want to distract me with happy things, feel free :)
(Oh and the offer to meet up with anyone along the 40 or 81 Interstates is still on, feel free to call me at my number in my contact post if needed)
