We are here, Part Deux

We spent our first night in California in a mostly packed up apartment that smelled a little weird (Teira says A LOT weird) and even though it was 54 degrees last night, Teira was shivering. She is already adjusting quite well to California pansiness about the weather. Today we are going to get keys to our new place! (we hope.) We will post some pictures in the next few days!

WE MADE IT!

More to follow in the am...

Entering the Golden State

We are closing in on the California state line. I only wish Kristin and Leah could be here with their gee-tars to serenade us across the border. As I typed that, we just crossed!!! We should make it into LA around 11 PT as long as we don't stop to pick up a hitchhiker outside a correctional facility (that's frowned upon here apparently).

Forgiveness and Smartphones

We made it through Arizona (gorgeous) and started seeing our first palm trees at the Nevada border. We've had a spectacularly picturesque drive, but with reeeeeally spotty reception. We had a rousing discussion on the existence of aliens (Michael claims to have seen a UFO, but I'm quite certain that he's yanking my chain). Also, we just remembered that some of the rocky mountainsides in Utah were steaming - any clues as to why that would be? The drive has been perfectly pleasant today, with only a few disagreements brought on today by tunnel vision focus on smartphones. iPhones are certainly not wePhones.

Arizona!

We are in a new state and Teira's bladder is fixing to burst! And there are "sun dogs" mocking her pain.

Any of our loyal readers know what a sun dog is?

Be-Utah-ful

Black Dragon viewing point gave us some scenic pictures and ample opportunity for dragon impressions. We have been passing the time by discussing the possibilities of underground gov't bunkers in the area. So far, no evidence spotted. I would like to give Michael props for driving his fair share today through the beautiful mountains (he will later claim that means 90% of it, but he will be exaggerating.) This post was supposed to be how pretty Utah has been in the last hour or 2, but oxygen levels are low and it seems I strayed off topic.

Green River, Utah

Famous for award winning melons, Green River is ironically not easy on the eyes. Sure, it might not be fair to judge the town through a dense fog, but you never know...it might have helped. On a positive note, we did see a wild buffalo (not obstructing the road) and I think there is sunshine ahead.
