An Idaho Sized Storm

As I got closer to Twin Falls Idaho the storm hit me with full fury! My car was tossed about by the massive gust of wind, sending me over into the other lane on several occasions. Soon the area I was passing through became black as night, as the dust from the desert was blown into the air. It was then followed by a blast of rain turning the dust filled air into mist of fine mud. Then out of nowhere my car was bombard by thousands of tumbleweeds that were being blown onto the highway, smacking into my grill, and rolling up over the windshield. I griped the wheel so hard my knuckles turned white as I tried to focus on staying on the road!

i heard you were thinking of taking the 101 to San Fran. i think that's a great idea, but i would suggest continuing down the 101 after S.F. Coastal California is one of the most beautiful things ever. Also, if you think you can make it down there, Death Valley, CA is the most beautiful thing ever. i swear you can see every star in the universe there at night. it's what made me decide to be a park ranger. good luck, friend.

i have to amend that suggestion. after S.F. take Hwy 1 down the coast. much better that way. =)

Hey Francis,
I finally have access to email in my apartment so I can check you out regularly. IT sounds like its a crazy journey so far. Is it everything you hoped it would be? Miss you and I'm praying for you often.
Much love,
