The flooded road that led me to accuse my GPS (Clar's GPS actually) of telling me to drive into a river

Day 5: Colorado Springs, CO to Kansas City, MO
We met Natalia's friends Shaina and Logan there (they're engaged to be married!). I stayed with Logan. They had a kitten called Tails. I felt it was strange and rude to video Shaina and Logan, but not to video Tails. I literally saw him fall asleep while sitting up! Too bad I didn't catch THAT on camera...
Day 3-4 of my roadtrip: Colorado Springs, CO
I didn't record any videos from days 3-6 because I was with friends and I thought videoing myself would be a little weird. :P
Day 3:
I sleep in (yay) at Tal's house. We have leftovers from her fridge for lunch, go for a short hike in this place that's only 5 minutes from her house (story of everyone's life in Colorado I imagine), and go meet Dan & Kayla. They're starting a Chi Alpha at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs campus so we go and prayer walk the campus with them.
After that we drive through this place called Garden of the Gods. Really interested rock formations, including this rock that looks like it's been performing a balancing act for however many centuries its been there:
We end up at this lovely cosy little coffee shop that looks like part coffee shop, part photo studio (downstairs), part Christian library of old Christian books that I imagine Glen would like. We get there just as the rain starts, so we sit there on comfy sofas for about 2 hours, sipping coffee and chatting as the rain pours outside. I miss good rain storms. This would easily be one of my favorite coffee places to go to if I lived in Colorado Springs.
OH and we shared a cream cheese panini. SO GOOD. Cream cheese with raspberry jam... kind of like a crepe, except toasted and crispy and a little soft. :)
Day 4: Er... I didn't really do anything. Oh but there was a rainstorm... check out this video (this is the only video I took from Day 3-6):

My Epic Road Trip, Day 1
On Monday (Jul 5) I began a road trip across the country. My first leg: Mountain View, CA to Wendover, UT. Drove 659 miles, left Mountain View at about 8:40am and arrived in Wendover UT around 7:30pm. Except I had changed time zone, so it was actually 8:30pm.
Here's my video logs from the first day. :)

Day 1
I set off at 8:40am this morning. Left my sunglasses in Clar's car and discovered last night didn't bring my toothbrush. But I had another pair and Clar had an extra one.
11 hours, 657 miles, about 25 wheat thins and 4 full bottles of mineral water / apple juice later, I arrived in Wendover, Utah at around 7:40pm or so. Except Utah is on Mountain time so it was actually 8:40pm.
The scenery was great. Too bad I'm too tired to upload anything. Maybe tomorrow.

The Epic Journey
Is about to begin. Tomorrow I start my cross-country trek in this very fully packed car:
And that's only the trunk. The backseats are filled to the brim, with just enough space left for me to see out my rear window. I'm delivering this car to New York for my friend Will, and taking the chance to meet up with a few people on the way. The first leg tomorrow: Mountain View, California to (hopefully) Salt Lake City. Whee.
I love driving. Pray that doesn't change after this trip... :P
