Back in COLORADO!

Yep. I'm back here to do one thing. I am hiking up Longs Peak on Saturday. I mean, sure I will be with family and enjoy their company, but getting to 14,259 ft. is my goal. A bit nervous though...apparently is somewhat dangerous, but I am going to be smart about it. Gotta climb with your head...be safe. Theres a lot to live for and only second chances if you survive.

Amarillo

Yep made it. Its 1:17pm. Not what I thought.

On to OK City, OK

Woke up late

Im ready to get on the road, but I wont be stopping as often today. Im in a bit of a time crunch...hope to be home by late tomorrow...

From Santa Rosa, NM...

Made it to Santa Rosa...

Yeah...
I made it to Santa Fe. What a beautiful place! After walking around downtown for an hour snapping pictures, I headed back to the hwy towards Oklahoma City. Obviously I wasnt gonna make it there, so I stopped in Santa Rosa. It was 10pm by the time I arrived at the motel. Only a 2.5 hour drive!

Ugh

Now I sit in a Denny's about to enjoy my steak n eggs. I cannot wait to go to sleep though...

Sorry no pictures yet.

Do you know the way...to Santa Fe?

I can blog from my phone...

Im headed to Santa Fe.

394mi. from Denver

Time to come home...

Yep. Today is Monday, April 22. And I am starting a road trip home.

I will be going south, then east, then north. (Potentially...)

I am homesick.

This is not to say I haven't THOROUGHLY enjoyed my time here!

I am blessed to have family that took me in for these 3 weeks.

I will never forget the time I had out here and I cannot WAIT to come back!

But I also cant wait to be home.

SO...

Here is to another adventure...

Now what???

Well, I have finished the videos of the road trip. Each one took nearly 4 days to complete and late hours. The total time for the videos is 5 hours 29 minutes. Wow...

BUT the bright light at the end is that I have discovered my love for movie editing.

Hmmm....

Anyways, my concern now is that I have nothing to do on the computer (aside from making more movies that would be many times more pointless than the two I have completed.)

I think it is time for some adventures.

As Calvin and Hobbes put it,

"It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy...

Lets go exploring!"
