hugmeI left flagstaff at 2:00 AM PCT or 5:00 EST (georgia) and headed west!! it's 500 miles from flagstaff to LA and I have to go through LA to get to my uncles house. Thefirst part of the trip was pretty dark, then I started dropping in altitude. Flagstaff is 7500 ft high and there are parts of the trip where I dropped fast... calculate a 6% grade at 80mph for 5 miles... (well that is what the sign said)
The sun came up while I was in the mojave desert, I had to stop for that... I also had to get gas in the middle of the desert, talk about price gouging!! 2.25 a gallon!! they are the only gas station for 80 miles at least in any direction so they can charge what ever they want.
I headed into LA and called my uncle Steve to guide me for the last part of the trip. We went out to eat at a restraunt on muscle beach this morning. then went and strolled the canals in Venice (and I thought that was in italy). it's quite an interesting walk around those houses.
we are about to go and catch a movie, hopefully my uncle Adam will be back soon and I can see him..
I went to show my uncle the way I get an interent connection... I found a connection in one corner of his house but I have to stand with the laptop to be able to get it... then when walking out to his car, about 40 feet, I picked up 6 different networks I could connect to. driving 5 blocks to walk the canals I picked up 30 more of them... THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!
thank you for all the wonderful e-mail everyone is sending me!! I really love reading it. I don't have much human contact on the trip so it is nice to hear from you.
ok, we will see what our next stop will bring!!
