After completing my graduate requirements for my master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction Design, I headed out on a road trip in order to move to San Francisco. This post chronicles my journey across the American Southwest as I drove my Jetta, a UHaul trailor, and my dog towards California.
Warning, this post contains many large images. Some are beautiful, some are not.
Ethel and I start are pilgrimage to San FranciscoAll through Illinois, violent storms ragged around usAs storms passed throughout the Midwest, they left massive floods across many states.I briefly passed through the eastern tip of Arkansas on my way towards Memphis.Drove across several bridges, which always freaks me out a littleI visited the historic Sun Records while I was briefly in Memphis, TNMy dog Ethel wasn't much of a companion as she slept for most of the 6 day tripPassed through Arkansas again, and then; big beautiful skies in eastern texasI slept in the largest bed I've ever seen while in eastern TexasLots of great rocky scenery in western TexasLots of wind turbines in western TexasI drove across vast stretches of highway under a beautiful sunsetStopped briefly in Roswell, New Mexico and visited the UFO Museum Towards western New Mexico I started seeing some mountains in the backgroundLots of trains passed as I drove through the plateaus of ArizonaWhile visiting the Grand Canyons, I got hit with a large snow stormThe weather cleared up for about 30 minutes, which was enough for me to see the vast beauty of the Grand CanyonsOnce the snow storm cleared up, the sky presented me with some rainbowsMade it into California, such a beautiful state.Ethel and I celebrate as we crossed into San Francisco!
It was quite a journey, as I traveled nearly 3,000 miles across the United States with all my possessions in tow, and everything that I knew behind me.
