anyhow, it feels good to be making my way through the
winter without feeling
crushed by it. i always use this time to plan my adventures, whether
big or small, and that somehow makes the time go by more quickly.

my next adventure will be a trip to death valley.
why? because i have always seen myself driving off into the
desert sun, wearing my dusty boots, staying at funky little motels
with really bad curtains and bedspread displays.

i like places of isolation and solitude. i want to feel the wind and i want
to hear the buzz of a bug. i want to have an open road and wide skies.
i want to collect stories from an old cowboy...
...something about this area scares me a little, which is something i also love.
(dont worry mom, i promise not to pick up any hitchers).

if you have taken this trip via vegas, and know of some good stretches or little joints to stop at along the way, i would love to hear from you...

thanks...peace out
