Had the good intention of doing this and bah! Didn't. The trip was good. Nebraska is long, long, long. Always block it out of my mind no matter how many times I go through it. Got the requisite cracked windshield driving through Wyoming. I think there is some sort of conspiracy with auto glass dealers. Anyway, here are some of the pics. The cemetery is in Virginia City, Nevada.

A tale of a road trip. Hmm. Before I have even left on this trip to California, a good friend of mine, whom I have known for over twenty years and knows the ins and outs of our mutually twisted psyches, told me the other day that he had a dream about me. Now considering that this dream may have been the result of some cheap liquor is not the true issue at hand, might be something for all to keep in mind when deciding between Old Crow and Maker's Mark, but anyway the dream. There is always a taste of prophecy when a friend tells you that he's had a dream just before you embark on a journey. I don't care if it's an epic tale or an aggro drive across the states, it tends to pique your interest. So this dream involves both Chris and myself driving apparently uneventfully across country in the bitty Mini, until we reach Donner Pass. Donner Pass, which you may very well know, is in the Sierra Nevadas and in early November 1846 the Donner Party was stranded due to a snow storm blocking the pass. Out of the 81 people starting out the winter only 45 remained at the end, due to a large pot luck escapade, the main dish served was long pig. According to this self proclaimed oracle, the Mini follows suit and Chris and I are forced to debate who eats whom. Now to most of you the sure bet on this would have me as the underdog, since I am a vegetarian. But I have long said that I would turn to cannibalism first, if I ever had to eat meat again. So the spread might be a bit more favorable for those who want to place a bet. There's still a week before this all really begins, but I promise to get a good pic of whose ever toes end up in the pot, if he turns out to be another Edgar Cayce.
