I was up early but it was still 90\u00b0 at 4:00 in the morning.\u00a0 It took me 45 minutes to get on the road and since Arizona doesn’t participate in daylight savings time, the eastern sky was already starting to brighten.\u00a0 It’s going to be another day on the interstate and this stretch of I-10 is one I know well.\u00a0 For the past 34 years I’ve been driving back and forth from Southern California to Phoenix.\u00a0 Many people say that the road is really boring but even after as many times as I’ve gone back and forth, I don’t mind the drive.\u00a0 Cooler would be nice, but I still find a way to enjoy the ride.\u00a0 There’s really only a couple ways to go that aren’t interstate and those routes almost double the time it takes; and since it’s all desert out there – that’s nothing I’m interested in this time of year.<\/p>\n
Cooler temperatures is what I’m looking forward to and about the time I got to Simi Valley things were getting a little more comfortable.\u00a0 The ride was rather uneventful and I know it’s kind of anticlimactic to do a thousand miles of slab time at the end of my trip but that’s the way it goes sometimes.\u00a0 It’s been a great ride, I’ve enjoyed my visits with family and friends along the way and wish I could have seen more of you – next time for sure.<\/p>\n
For those of you who have been following along, I hope you’ve enjoyed the narrative as much as I have enjoyed sharing my experiences along the way.\u00a0 It’s been 6 weeks and although I’ve really enjoyed the trip, I’m going to really enjoy being home again as well.\u00a0 Until our paths cross again…..<\/p>\n
