while at first i was a bit miffed that i was the one who got stuck driving almost two hours (one way) to visit a new location, i changed my tune as soon as i got into the mountains. when it wasn't raining, the sun was shining perfectly on the trees, making those bright oranges and yellows and reds pop against the green and brown that i'm so used to seeing where i am. it hasn't hit here yet, where the trees look like gingers with their red tops and nothing else.
four hours in the car, the black keys and band of skulls as my soundtrack, i flew down highways and interstates and tried to pay attention to the road, but the great music and gorgeous scenery made it more than difficult.
four hours in a car will make you think about a lot of things. i looked around me and thought about how lucky i am to live in such a beautiful state. almost makes all the things i hate about it slip away. well, at least for four hours, anyway.
