There’s Snow In Arizona?

by Ranil on Mar.18, 2008

IMG_1935A roadtrip is a nice way to get away from it all for a period of time.  Last week a friend of mine, Arman, got into USC School of Accounting and decided it would be a good time to take a roadtrip.  Our plan of escape, hop in his car and head east towards Arizona.  Our visit included a visit to meteor crater and a visit to Arizona’s Petrified Wood Forrest.

I am pleased to say that his car thoroughly smelled like cigarettes after the trip and that the biggest surprise to us that there was  snow in Arizona – who knew?  I thought Arizona was a desolate wasteland that the rest of the country had forgotten.  I was mistaken.  So along with the Grand Canyon, Arizona actually has something worth visiting, even if the way there was plagued with flat barren land.

Unfortunately for us, Arizona was in the middle of a cold spell and cold, strong, gusty winds were present the entire trip.  1234 miles later and we’re back in LA and back to the grind.  Whoo Hoo.  To those who didn’t go, be glad – if the wind didn’t get you, our farts would have.

The roadtrip is a favorite experience of mine.  To me, the journey is sometimes more important than the destination.  It gives people a chance to bond all the while experiencing America at it’s finest.  I love stopping at rest stops along the way and comparing them to other rest area’s that I’ve been to.  I love stocking up on beef jerky and drinking energy drinks to keep me awake as I drive.  While this roadtrip was nowhere near as long or as spectacular as my “Sponge Bob Visits America” roadtrip, I must say it was still quite enjoyable.  Here’s to seeing you on the next roadtrip…
