Well, I just came back from a couple weeks of working on Colorado! Yesterday (aka the drive back) was interesting. Colorado and Utah are absolutely gorgeous, and made the prospect of being in a car for 17 hours a bit better. Things got pretty unlucky once we crossed the state line leaving Nevada into California. For Starters, my dad got a call from the motel we were staying at saying that he left his check in the room. Shortly after. we got a flat tire, which we changed for a spare in 105 degree (Fahrenheit). We were short on gas, so we stopped in Barstow to fill up. That incident caused us to be caught in traffic caused by a pretty gnarly accident. Being involved in that traffic caused us to not be able to get on the freeway we wanted, because the merge was closed for night work. After that, it was pretty smooth sailing though.
