Among The Trees

My cross country road trip has finally come to an end. It included:

• Almost 4,000 miles of driving.
• 10 National Park/Monument sites.
• Weathering three massive (and fatal, apparently) Southern thunderstorms.
• 1 trip to the impound lot.
• 2 separate vehicles (RIP Bessie the 17 yo Mercury Tracer).
• 2 nights trapped in Vegas.
• 1 adorably nerdy and remarkably patient boyfriend.
• Countless bug bites.
• 1 drunken night in Memphis where I made a fool of myself.
• 1 bed bug attack.
• Innumerable excellent memories.

I’m pumped to sleep in a real bed but returning to civilization and a new job isn’t as exciting as impromptu adventures.
