Day 5: 5am Starts 5 States (part 1)

Andy dropped me off around 1am Saturday morning. I took a quick 'nap' and was up bright and early, ready to ride off into the sunset. Well... I suppose it was more like riding off into the sunrise. As you might guess, Will's car was quite full. Looked like we had half of a 'low rider' when we left the house. Fueled up and ready to go. Will took us out, and I went to sleep.

The plan was to go through California to Nevada, a quick pass through Arizona, through Utah, and ending up in Colorado for the night.

Along the way, Will and I planned to do some sight seeing. Since I had a voice recorder on me for work, I thought we would use it for the trip too.

I hope you enjoy this new way of telling the story of our trip. If you can't hear the audio please let me know and I will write it out.

First stop, Baker California!

Next along the route, just across the state line.
