I put my boots in the Pacific ocean today. Hell yeah I rode from Texas to the Pacific ocean. It was exhilarating and felt incredibly satisfying. Then 5 minutes later I booked our of san Diego. The mountain road s were steep twisty and windy. Total adrenaline ride. At times I had to lean when going straight the gusts were so strong. And for the first time ever I had to stay straight in a curve because of the wind. I don’t even understand how those physics work. The turns were seemingly cambered at random which kept me on my toes.
Then I stopped at all the scenic places I could I don’t have any Rush finally. The trip really begins.
So I caught this place called Coyote’s alien repair and service. So again I had to go. Coyote was fucking nuts and when I asked hey man are you coyote? He only half jokingly said that depended on if I was with the FBI. He talked my ear off about just about every conspiracy and the nature of history etc. But not aliens. Still I think there was some truth to some of his personal stories. And In his own intentional half crazed way is dealing with the same malaise so many of us feel when we look at the society around us. Sometimes it’s hard to see the beauty too. But coyote could still laugh at least.
Well he drew my an alien portrait on a rock and then tucked it into an old cracker Jack’s box. After he got over his disbelief that I didn’t know any cracker Jack’s song or the boy or the dogs name, he sung that song and tipped the rock portrait out of the box and into my palm. We fist bumped and I took off.
Pretty much from there I raced the sun and my aching leg to the campsite.
I’m at squaw lake in yuca Arizona. Service is terrible so I’ll have to upload pictures later. The wildlife refuge turned out to be a major detour so I changed plans and found squaw lake.
The campground is BLM so my national parks pass covered admission. The place is big with showers and toilets and tables. I’m the only person in a tent so I have an awesome spot by the lake. There was a camp host. Anne, she was real friendly and suggested the spot. Assured me no bear bags were needed and stuff was generally safe here. Everyone else I’ve seen here is at least 55 and all of them have RVs or at least campers. How do people go camping and watch TV? Coyote had that one completely right.
First day on meal system was good but I slipped and dumped way to much prepper in. Oops. It was still good. Chicken beans and potatoes with garlic granules and chili powder. Salt. Have to try some tomato powder in it next time. Oh and I forgot my coffee… Sigh.
There are ducks everywhere and they apparently walk around a little at night
