To grandmother's house I go! After missing the Target departure time of 8am by a scant five hours, we finally managed to leave the driveway and have been trucking (vanning?) for six hours practically nonstop so far.
The occasion is an epic event: five cars full of the Hitchcock bloodline will depart from Point A in New Mexico and drive to Point B in northern California via the Nevada desert.
I think what excites me the most about this roadtrip is the prospect of passing through/spending extended amounts of time in most of my favorite environments. Point A is in the stony landscapes of New Mexico, we get to drive through the Nevada desert, and Point B is among the forests and mountains of northern California in the most beautiful part of the country. Can't wait!
