I think we would both agree that the trip was packed with adventure, unexpected turns, lessons that could cycle back again, and more getting to know each other time. Even thinking about it now; it was an exhausting trip.
In bulleted form, here is a tiny bit of insight:
- Purchased jerky and began our travels
- Picked up two stranded older ladies and drove them to their home
- Received tickets to a nearby town's demolition derby as a token of their gratitude
The trip should have taken approximately 4 hours; we were still driving after the sun had been down for at least an hour.
- Pitched the tent to starlight- Consumed astronaut-approved-hot-tang and oatmeal to start the day
- Climbed the dunes and almost blew
off the edge
- Feasted upon sand-covered oranges at the top of the sand pile
-Threw our orange peels into the magnificent gusts
Attended the derby
- Stalked by the formerly-stranded ladies
- Received turkey legs from the ladies- Felt ill
- Invited to their home, we went...
- Talked about... their children, employment, life...
- Invited to spend the night, declined offer...
- Pending offer still stands to visit and attend the Gator Farm with their accompaniment
- Craved sleep; returned to the tent
We were thankful for the opportunities that would not have occurred if we had not met those kind individuals. Our ears were still ringing from the derby, our bodies we tired from the hot and dusty climb. It was good rest. This was quite a camping adventure.
