So I have spent the last 28 hours of my life in a car. After about 15...the ride becomes one large blur, and it kind of feels like you have been in the car for a year, or some ridiculous amount of time, much longer thann you actually have been in the car.
anyway...I am on my way to LA. I am visiting with a friend of my Brother's in Las Vegas.
So far the scenic highlights of the trip have been I70 through Colorado, I reccomend everyone drive that section of I70 at some point inn their life. It is probably one of the most beautiful areas inn the country. Snow, pine trees, mountains everywhere, that are so high you cannt see the top when looking up. You also drive through a really sweet canyon towards the end, where there are enormous cliffs that shoot straight up onn both sides or the road.
The other big, notable highlight is coming south onn I15 in AZ. you are only in AZ for about 28 miles, but these twenty eight miles, you decend a 7% grade from somewhere arounnd 7000 feet to about 1500 feet, and this time there are desert mountains everywhere. Quite amazing.
The worst part has been Kansas by far. I hate that state with a passion. We almost got hit by lightninng 3 or 4 times inn the car -- some severe thunderstorms--remnants from the front that produced the F5 wedge that destroyed that small town in KS (greennsburg?) 2 days ago.
fun times, let me tell you. It was cool though seeinng lightning light up the sky every 3 seconds or so for a stretch of about 200 miles, but the rain and the scare of tornadoes and hail still scared the crap out of me.
anyway, that is the latest
I am running onn about 3 hours of sleep, and starving.
peace

Five days later, I hope you have had some time to eat and sleep. I've been kicking it back tonight after a couple of days inn Chicago for work. Have a nice weekend! Glad you made it out there safely...and now I understand a bit better how you were in Vegas after one day of traveling.
