I'm on the road

[Spitfire]

I took this one yesterday and it reminds me of this forum, like driving into it...


I saw the most beautiful solid white bird. It was large like an Eagle, perched on a spooky looking tall thin tree beside the road. It was incredible to see right at sunset, and words do not do it! The white bird flew off his perch and went right in front of my windshield, like he meant to and knew what it was doing. Truly amazing

I like how the sky looks in this one.


It was interesting night. There was nobody anywhere, no stores, no people, and I did not see any other vehicles for a few hours.

I slept off the side of the road somewhere last night and woke up to an extremely pleasant view in the morning. It was too dark to see when I went to sleep.

I saw a coyote run across the road one time last night, and a huge elk or moose something! I was actually really VERY close to crashing into it. The elk was just standing there in the middle of the road.. and he did not even move until after I had already braked and swerved around it. Thank God I swerved correctly, and this was the scariest part.

There was a lot of ice all over the road once I got out in the country high in the mountains, and snow banks, a lot hazards like cliffside roads, etc... It was really nice.

I have to admit being, not scared exactly, but kind of worry for a minute last night because no cell phone service or people or anything anywhere.

I wanted to update this thread when I stopped for the night, but I had no service was all.

2,792 miles

I hope you enjoyed coming along with me on this trip. We made it!!!

Thanks everyone, I love this community.

This is gross, inappropriate and slightly silly, but I was on the road with some friends and was pushed to go to a strip club in Wyoming and the only one we found was a strip club in a deli. Maybe you can find that place to eat. It was so horrible in so many ways.

I will, I will share the other pictures for everyone to see what they look like too.

I did not realize how much I would enjoy taking the pictures. Maybe it could be a new hobby for me? I am soo happy you came along for the ride with me. Thank you Fehler, for all of you advice and positive encouragement. You have been truly very helpful to me.

Here is another one of the pictures and it might be my favorite, not sure yet?

Good catches as always! Good taste with your favorite, very good shot. I keep this as my favorite (for now).
Although the lonely imposing mountain, the snowy rest area, the lonely tree and the sunset with the windmills are very beautiful too.
If you don't mind, I also share one of my photos in one of my trips in the classic traffic jam on the way to the airport

I added filters to it, I was bored while the traffic was not moving

I like that you picked the one on the snowy road with the evergreen trees right off to the side. I was trying on that one and did truly say in my head for some reason I just thought you would like it. That is really cool.

I really like photography, and I never knew! Nice picture you took in the traffic also, it is fascinating.. I added three more that I like.

Well that was cool.
Awesome .
I'd missed it when you posted them !
Thanks for sharing ... really enjoyed them !

( If you felt like telling us about the little log off cut dash board shrine thing that would be cool ... but I like it a lot ... as well as the Dog. I love Car Shrines , and I hadn't thought about them as a thing ... )

It was from a tree in my Mom's front yard when she was growing up that was struck by lightning. She painted this piece of it. She was just a little girl.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah I missed this ! Cheers !

I am glad you liked it. It has been a real good time. That piece of wood is my favorite thing in the world, so I sometimes tried to catch glimpses of it in the pictures I took. It makes me happy to have a piece of her in them too.

Back to work.... Everyone has met one another and daily operations are in full swing as of this morning.

What an amazing drive. It has always been on my bucket list. Cross the us from east cost go LA, lucky you....

 

[Gerard de Nerval]

This is awesome! I once took a road trip a few years ago all over the west of the US. It was amazing, and with the person I love the most. Good luck to you.

This thread and everyone's comments are so wholesome and serene. I wish I could've been part of the action. Glad you made it safe!
