Road Trip to Arkansas

It's been a while eh?

Last week was an adventure. I drove out with Steffen to Eureka Springs, Arkansas and back to San Luis Obispo, California in one week...Monday to Sunday. We went through Bakersfield, Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Amarillo, Oklahoma City, to Eureka Springs. We pretty much took the same way back detouring from Flagstaff to Pheonix (Surprise and Tempe in particular) and Yorba Linda (my home) before getting back to SLO at about 2am.

It was fun! Though the snow storm through Flagstaff was a bit intimidating...a little scared for my life, but Steffen is a good driver so I wasn't too worried...despite not being able to see through the windshield since the snow was coming directly at it at relatively high speeds...and icy roads. Haha. Anyways, we pulled off and slept in the car under and overpass sharing a sleeping bag across the middle console. Can't say it was too comfy, but we were warm enough.

Eureka Springs is a nice place. Small town in the hills with a funky vibe. The weather temperature was great though and I loved playing with the pups. It was like a mini vacation.

We got to visit and stay with my best friend Ku'uipo on the way back through Arizona. Her parents have a very large house there...housing market isn't as terrible as California lol. We went out with her friends to downtown Tempe that night at the Big Bang Dueling Piano Bar and Margarita Rocks (I think that was it) before heading back up to Surprise to pass out for the night...we were exhausted. 8-12 hours of driving a day will do that to ya lol.
