Cross Country, Day 1

Day 1 of my cross country trek... LA to Akron (Ohio). Me, my dog and the Mini Cooper! Travelling back for the next month to help my family as my parents are moving house - as in moving out of my childhood home! It's a weird thing. They/we have lived there for 39 years so you can imagine the task at hand (physical and emotional.)

So today: California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah (where I am this eve.) Such a beautiful drive so far, I love the open road! Will do a little photo blog as long as I have internet access...

Mojave Desert, CA... and a very inventive street name.

I found U2's "Bullet The Blue Sky" to be a great song to drive through the California desert to (which actually is very apropos)

Hello Vegas... for a minute

Some crazy beautiful rock formations in Arizona

More beauty in Arizona

Er, nice shot Stanley
