roadtrip 2007 - the return trip
before i get started on this entry, i would like to explain one thing about the entry for the concert:
Coachella is beyond words. it is beyond explaining. i can not take you there, i can not tell you how it feels, what is
going on, or anything of the sort. you have to experience it, and you SHOULD experience it. don't tell me the
music is not your style, or the cost is too high, or whatever excuse you have. DO IT! then, and only then, will you
understand. i WILL be attending next year, and as many times as i can until it is no more. so, lemme know.
monday we packed up and headed out, saying good-bye to all the ppl we met.. except the one group who didn't think their plane through very well....... got into our car *with the vagina hood* and hit the road. we went to anaheim, to these great little cabins. we enjoyed the first flush toilet and chance to wear make-up in days! *ok, the other girls wore make-up a few times, i chose to stick with dirt at the concert* once clean, dressed, pretty *and once the pics are up, YES camo and flowers was a good fashion decision* we headed to the happiest place on earth!!!!!!
ok, so we can all guess how that went! we hit up, indy, the pirates, big thunder, matterhorn, space mountain, Roger Rabbit, gadget's go-coaster. lots of pics too. though i was/am kinda pissed because you can only meet n greet the characters at set times, which is stupid. i liked it better when they wandered around the park!!
disney closes at 8pm, so we were out the door by then. didn't get lost going home, except we kinda decided to stop for booze at the WRONG store. i mean, no one got shot, and we didn't get robbed *most likely because we paid the majority of the bill in $1 bills...* but i wandered outside once to go for a smoke, so all the guys with their hand in their pocket *not hands, HAND* and wandered back it. proceeded to get drunk at the cabin, and generally have a good time.
Tuesday started with no hang-over *thank GOD because we were on the road again*, and we started home. we took a trip through Garden Grove, and then up the PCH for quite a ways. eventually, we ended up on the 101 and headed towards san fran. we got there around 10:30pm, had dinner at the Hard Rock *bad service, shitty food*. i then drove us from san fran to interstate 5. we stopped around.. 3:30am in a rest stop *as per usual*, toked, and caitlin had the most random dream!!!
out of the blue, just after richard and i get back from smokin, from the back seat you hear "Wisconsin Cheese!". i live with a dog, and brushed it off as just dreamness *you'd understand if you live with a dog*, but richard started LAUGHING and ended up waking up caitlin!
we slept until 7:30 then started driving again. sometime during the morning, in northern cali, richard got behind the wheel. shortly there after, a police officer pulled us over. richard got a speeding ticket for going 12 miles over the limit! remember this detail. we made it through cali and into oregon with no problems. a little north of the state line, we decided to head to the oregon coast. this, this is where we got lost. and oh did we get lost! twice... or three times. just for you random travellors: DO NOT FOLLOW THE SIGNS IN RURAL OREGON!!! they point in different directions!!!!! and stay away from the Dairy Loop!
but eventually we made it to the coast, and the most beautiful place i've ever been. yes, yes, i know. please don't tell B.C!! the province may not recover if it knew that i'm cheating on it with oregon, but SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll be putting pics of this stuff soon.
when it started to get dark, we headed back towards the I-5, and home. somewhere between being awake, and falling asleep, we made it to Canada. i know this, because at 3:30am, they woke me up to drive across the boarder. we made it no problem! i drove us the rest of the way home. just west of 152nd street, i had a run-in. apparently, when the police are behind you, do NOT go double the speed limit in a 50 zone! BUT.. in the even that this does happen, pray you are a pretty girl, because i didn't get a ticket. just told to slow down.
and so ends roadtrip 2007, the first of many. it doesn't sound that interesting on the internet, but living it was fantastic!
