It is difficult to believe, but I am writing from the stone deck of a private Mexican villa, feet propped up on a brick firepit and silhouetted against the vastness of pure ocean. How did I get here? I wonder to myself. How does this even happen?Since beginning our journey, there has grown a small, … Continue reading The Sun is Shining
I'm updating this blog while sitting on the beach in Mexico. But I'll get to that.Yesterday had a fantastic vibe; Brad, Doug, and I sat outside for hours and chat with some beers.

I am really loving California.Yesterday got off to a pleasant start with a walk down the road to get some coffee. Doug is quite the historian; I got filled in on Signal Hill history on the way. It's fascinating stuff to me, but I won't bore you with the details here. Once everyone got up … Continue reading Another Day in Paradise

We got rounded up and headed to the Grand Canyon quickly. The drive was very nice and peaceful, partially through a national … Continue reading View from the Edge (Rhys Version)
(Written at Grand Canyon National Park, AZ)I've been told by reputable sources that one cannot put the experience of seeing the Grand Canyon into words - and I completely believe them. I am, however, very stubborn, so I'm going to try anyway.I won't bore you with the details of the drive - while beautiful, it … Continue reading View from the Edge (Indi Version)
I'm updating this morning from Flagstaff, AZ! We made it! It was a LONG drive, though. We left Austin at 11 AM CST and arrived in Flagstaff at 3 AM PST. That is many hours. Not much to report, lots of great scenery and some real robust driving shifts from Brad and Indi. It's going … Continue reading I-10
