The real purpose of our excursioin to Colorado was to visit and mooch off a friend of ours living in Fort Collins. We made the 45 min drive north and met him after work for some beers at the Odells brewery. My friend had recently bought a house, had 2 dogs and a cat, and was getting married in 19 days, it was an interesting stay. The following morning we got back in the car and drove through the rockies, and over the continental divide. Its interesting how on the east side its all green, lush and full of pine trees while on the west coast side the land is sun baked shades of red and orange.

Then a few hours later we ended up in a castle in Las Vegas. Then after checking in, walking through the New York New York we bumped into some friends from home. Small world. After a night of drinking and various Vegas activities we drove the final 5 hours to San Diego.

Across the country in one post.

Of course we really haven’t planned the trip much, I’d say we’ve put less thought into it than I did on the previous road trip. Tomorrow we leave, no first destination, or inclination of the declination of the north star from our first stop. I believe we may try and stop some where in Colorado for our first official way point of the journey. I have been reading a bit more and, oops I forgot to finish the sentace and we started our road trip already.
