Cross Country Road Trip Part 1
Posted by Jessica in Misc
I left Pocatello at 2:48am last friday morning. Oh it was so sad to say goodbye to my friends and my storage unit with 80% of my belongings...But the world was waiting for me and I knew I had a long journey ahead.
I drove until I got to Malad, Idaho and then pulled over for a nap. I slept for about 2 hours and continued on my journey to Las Vegas. I got into Vegas early in the afternoon and was able to take a cat nap, pack my belongings and head over to my friend's house where he is keeping some of my things while I am chasing my dreams in the east. He made dinner and for the first time in over 2 months I had a home cooked meal. I then said my goodbye's and headed back to North Vegas where I loaded my car and started my journey.
I hadn't slept very much, even when I was on vacation in Pocatello, so when I got to St. George I slept in my car for about an hour and a half, then in Cedar City for another 2 hours. Here is a picture I took of the St. George temple.
Finally, I was back on the road and headed east. Utah wasn't as hideous as I thought it would be and my breath was taken away at the San Rafael Swell. Here are some pictures.
I then continued on my drive until I got to Colorado...
Colorado was simply beautiful and I spent a few hours there napping and enjoying the scenery.
When I got into Vail I didn't take any pictures because I didn't think I could begin to capture the beauty of the area with my camera. So, courtesy of google images, here ya go:
The next part will include more of Colorado and Nebraska. I didn't take a ton of pictures, so you will have to forgive me for that.
