Well last night was my last night in Utah for the next few months. I went with Kate to dinner and then we went to The Tavernacle. That was where the night really got started. We met up with Sean, Kyle, Adam, Jamey, Al, Matt and Taylor. Sean just got back from Australia so it was real awesome to be able to hang out with him before I left. Well anyway we got to drinking and talking and having a great time. The bills weren't too high but having to pay to get in is pretty damn ridiculous.
After drinking two or three beers I quit because I knew I had to be up early in the morning in for my drive to New Mexico. So everybody kept drinking but I still had a really good time especially when the pianists played some cool songs. After we left I took Matt and Taylor back home to Matt's house and then the panic started. Kate had lost her camera at the bar, so went back and we couldn't find it anywhere nobody had turned it in. So I took her home and then I had to get home so I could get some sleep for the drive.
I finally went to sleep at about three in the morning and got up at seven thirty and we left near eight thirty. The drive started out okay. Once we got to the Navajo Indian Reservation things were a lot different. I will refer to it as the "Res". While driving through the Res I never had seen so much graffiti. It was on everything the speed limit signs, the mile markers, hell somebody even spray painted something on the yellow lines on the road. The next thing that I noticed was there were beer bottles everywhere. They were just all over the side of the road. I didn't get any pictures but just imagine driving down the road and seeing beer bottles about every ten feet on the side of the road.
Well once out of the Res we finally got down to the Apache and Gila National Forests these were the final stretches to getting into Silver City, where I am staying. We got to the town at about nine fifteen at night. So the whole drive was almost 13 damn hours. I have never driven that long before in my life and I don't want to do that again.
