Decided to make the first day easy, since it took me forever to pack the car. Of course several things did not make it on the trip. Jamie's gift of a camping chair and my purple hoodie. Took the upmost of my willpower not to stop by Coco's and visit the yummy bicycle repair guy. if i did, who knows, i may still be in Los Angeles. no traffic getting to JT. met blake at the motel, which is almost ready to go. bought a year pass to all the national parks and forests. had my standard tempeh ruben at the crossoads. passed out at blake's back house, which i last visited with curtis a year ago. can't believe i did not tear up or get sentimental, which is rather uncharacteristic for me. woke up as the sun was setting down and went to the motel and got to see what it looks like lit up. the bathrooms look like james turrell boxes. tried to photograph the sign but i don't think it came out very good. cooked dinner with blake, yes, beets. blake made great ahi steaks with garlic sauce. nice to cook dinner together. both of us were exhausted. no partying. nervous about taking off tomorrow.
