It reached 51 degrees today…nice, sunny, and an almost-warm kind of feeling. It was wonderful!
And yes, I do realize that not more than a month ago I was cheering on the snow as it fell.
But it’s 14 days until spring — and that realization plus the nice weather now after so many days of…of…not niceness — has made me want to cheer on the sun, the spring, and the summer!
Bring it on!
When I do get the chance to take a drive — a REAL drive (long, aimless, not your normal “Sunday drive”) — I often think about what the land would look like without all the buildings, roads, utility poles…you get the picture. Without the touch of people upon it.
Today was one of those days, of course. It was a wonderful 10 hours of driving. I saw Vasquez Rocks first (see post before this one) and the just drove north into the mountains. After drinking in the mountains I drove through a huge valley for a while before hitting mountains again and heading back to L.A. All in all an outstanding day – even had a chance to see a movie!
Now…if I can just get some solid sleep on my red-eye flight, I’ll be in great shape for heading straight vack to work when I land!
At the end of my weekend in California, I wanted to do something besides sit in a meeting or a hotel room. So I decided to drive (no big surprise there). Last time I was here I drove south for a long while before I had to turn around to head back to Los Angeles for my red-eye flight back home — so this time I went north-ish.
Upon doing a little research I found one place I wanted to go — Vasquez Rocks. Some movies and TV shows have had scenes filmed here, including a few Star Trek ones I remember.
I love wandering!
