Spent a couple of days in Fort Worth, then started in again on the FINAL leg of this journey! Now the fun begins again with all NEW states! Stay tuned and see what our route home will be! I may have more to say as all the miles that have gone before begin to settle into me. Or I may continue to be in the moment and mute. Don't know. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
Thursday, October 17 - El Paso, TX to Abilene, TX
On tomorrow to Fort Worth and another brief visit with my little one. Makes all the driving coming back worth it. Here's an interesting comparison from my friend and filmmaker, Adam Hall from one of our first lunch stops about 3 weeks ago. Adam writes: "I recognized a picture from the blog as our epically delicious lunch in Washington, North Carolina and I remembered watching Brian take it and then I took out my phone to try and match Brian's point of view."
Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - Tucson, AZ to El Paso, TX
Tuesday, October 15 - Yuma, AZ to Tucson, AZ
Open skies. I did get back in the car a little reluctantly, you could say. But the "new" crew includes some guys I did photography with in the past. We can talk "shop" which is really cool to be able to do again. And then, of course, there are wide open scenes like this. Pretty inspiring.
Well, Arizona was nice, but ... back to Texas! Man, that's a big state.
More good Mexican food. Another great lunch. We just look for a lot of cars outside a Restaurant and away we go. I could get into this restaurant, review stuff, but I might weigh 300 lbs. We are in Pecos, Texas. The speed limit is only 80 mph here.
Monday, October 14, 2013 - Hermosa back to Yuma, CA
We spent a couple of great days in Hermosa relaxing and drinking in what we'd done. Lots of people make cross country trips and they are usually special journeys, but when you're like I am, the challenge is pretty unimaginable for the regular person. I know the demands and effort required from this trip has strengthened me in ways routine physical therapy never would have. Gotta credit my mom with a lot of the success. She's so important to me and nobody knows how to keep me alive better than she does.
It was kind of kicking and screaming that I got back in the car for the second leg of the trip home. Our new crew arrived Sunday to Hermosa and brought a lot of new energy with them. New adventures lay ahead, and I'm back on the road to see my little one again. Wagons roll!
