Me in Wyoming
Greetings folks. I don’t know if I told you this, but I drove across the country to Fremont, California. I guess not ALL the way across the country, but 2,500 miles from Cincinnati to Fremont is fairly substantial.
The picture posted is of me in Wyoming. There are more pictures at my Flickr account – however, I took 268 pictures and I don’t have time (or the account space) to upload all of them. So what you get is a few savory pieces of my trip, enjoy.
Now you could ask, and probably would, “why would you drive all that way when you could fly, are you crazy?” Yes. But, I would challenge you on the fact that this was really a life experience. I had never before been west of Cincinnati – how best to see what is out there than to drive through it? I am very glad that I did. My dad drove out with me to keep me company and we had a good time enjoying the new sites.
How can I be brief and give you a good picture of what happens west of Kansas (because all Kansas really is, is flat-ish fields of nothing-to-see). Yes, well, there are a lot of mountains in the Rockies: pretty mountains as you will see in my pictures. The mountains are basically the same except the stuff on them changes. OK, so that was Colorado through most of California. Then you get to the San Francisco Bay Area. Still mountains, but, with water – lots of water! San Francisco is a very pretty town. Tremendously built up and heavily populated. All of the homes are very nice looking and the streets are exactly as expected, super crazy. It would take you a long time to explore all of the unique streets and places of San Francisco. I mainly went through China Town and the financial district. And of course, from my photos you will more than likely deduce that I visited the Golden Gate Bridge and was within a canoe’s trip of Alcatraz.
So what did I get out of all of this? A numb butt from being in a car for 37 hours. But more importantly, I have amazing images and experiences deposited into my memory and 4 quality days with my dad. Would I do it again? Yes, but maybe when I am 65 and have a Winnebago. Although, I still need to see the Grand Canyon and all of those neat types of things. That could be coming up.
That is all you get out of me today folks. I hope that in your days you take the time out to just see. Drive the mind-rotting miles to realize how small your world actually is and how much there is that you don’t know about.
Love,
Cory
