Nature's evil side

This post's all about how mother nature wants to kill you. And me. She's got it in for humans, particularly Californians, and she's got some pretty sneaky weapons to get us with.

I can't really think of a better preamble to this post than that, so click read more, spare me the pain of using my brain.

Flying Solo

I've been travelling alone for a bit over two weeks now and although it's not that long, I've been driving a looooooooot and had plenty of time to contemplate life, the universe and everything (thanks for the line Mr Adams), and I wanted to write a bit about travelling solo.

At first I was nervous, it's kinda scary to head out on your own to a place where you don't know anyone and have no plans, but at the same time it's really good because it puts you in a position where you're forced to meet new people and make friends.

The second part to it is Couchsurfing, a website that has changed the way I travel and has made this trip, and my life, so much better.

I don't want to clog up the home page so click read more if you're interested, if not, then, well, that's okay... I guess. Enter sad smiley =(

Coachella

You can pretty much throw the thesaurus at Coachella.

Massive. Enormous. Awesome. Timeless. Insane. Excessive.

Okay so I planned for that to spell Meatie. I don't know why, I was bored.

Barry

Named after the great Barry Rd Massive, Ronnie's successor, Barry, is here to say hello.

1997 is a great vintage for the Plymouth Voyager, with subtle, fruity aromas often leaving the owner confused as to where the apple might have rolled to, and the unusually springy suspension rendering anyone who spends too long driving feeling rather intoxicated.

Like any good bottle of wine, Barry is awesome.

** I really couldn't come up with any wine/car jokes.. I shouldn't have tried to begin with.

The Map

Here's a map of the Great American Road Trip, as it stands so far. I'll update this each time I write new blogs, so those fanatics and/or stalkers out there can keep track of my every move.

Yay for you!
