What's with the sadness? Bring on the mountains!

In the past couple weeks I have seen The Reader (again), Revolutionary Road, and Road to Rodanthe. I dont know if it maybe has something to do with movies starting with 'R', but what tragic films! Dont get me wrong, they are beautifully done, amazing writing and acting. And then with One Tree Hill and the tragedy happening there...sheesh thats a lot of heartbreak. Wonderful though. All of them! Such talent again! So I think I need a break from the sadness. Well, Im not really sad, but a break from watching sad things, but I loved watching them, so I dont really want a break from something amazing like that.....more maybe a break from work. Thus, I shall skip town and head out west! Rockies here I come!!

What my heart needs now is rest

So I'm packin up and I'm headed west

My mind's made up I put it to the test

Pushin myself and this old machine

Burnin fumes and what's left of my dreams

Let 'em go 'cause I don't need no strings

Just give me a road and a little gasoline

~Terri Clark's A Little Gasoline

Ok, so the song as whole doesnt apply to me at the moment, but I like this part, its rather fitting to my westward travels. Oh, and my machine is not old, and I hope I dont have to push it, because that would totally not be fun!

I heard there is three feet of snow in the mountains, and I cant take my trailer because its supposed to snow on the day we leave, and for my first trip towing that far, might be a little sketchy, so we are sleeping in the good ol' Nitro! Brr, but with enough of that cold liquid that gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling, Im sure we will be fine! Oh the excitement is building, Ive been waiting since september to go camping, and the moment has arrived! Hopefully I will get some great photos out there!
