slc to tucson and back 70 hrs

boom boom giant slayer.

thats a sweet pic







i feel like i have been on the road so long there is nothing to say. i drive a lot, and buy stuff, then drive home. i've seen the sights so its nothing new. just white line fever.

not very exciting. maybe i should spice things up a bit.

1700 miles, 70 hrs round trip, did a few hrs of mtn biking, bought some parts, drove more.

traffic in phoenix is worse than LA, slc, san fran or vegas. $130 hotel rooms that are not that nice, lots of hippies in tucson and lots of really old dirty guys on bikes that look like they got them out of the dumpster.

a guy with a solar powered sewing machine mounted in a red wagon that he tows around on his bike.

i was going to tell the story of the cops, mexicans, bank, truck chase but it was kind of boring. so this is the high light of the trip.

notice the top speed at which i take pics and drive, in traffic 10pm grid lock in phoenix.


five sixs is a once in a lifetime sighting.
up there with aliens and bigfoot.










i witness first hand millions of cars in cities across the intermountain west, on interstates, in cities, towns and dirt roads everywhere.

its my prediction that this planet is screwed, nobody cares about being green. ok, 3 people do, forrest, devin and sara.

thats it, everyone else drives big ass trucks and black smokes me every where i go. flooring that big hunk of garbage and getting 5 mpg.

i see millions of vehicles all over, the fuel prices dont scare them away. they keep buying cars and driving all over.

i remember a long time ago when i hitch hiked to phoenix, san diego and slc. I-15 was a ghost town. it took hrs to get a ride cuz there were hardly any trucks that would stop for a biker.

now its grid lock, non stop to vegas, then to LA, turn off to hoover dam and go to phoenix and its wheel to wheel the whole way.

so many cars, and im not even talkin about the east coast.

we are all going to hell.
