Spitfire Studios was set to ship their equipment to Los Angeles for a shoot this coming weekend. With StreetFire recently giving me the boot, I had some extra time on my hands. So I volunteered to drive their Dodge Sprinter van from their home base in Atlanta to Los Angeles.
I genuinely enjoy driving – anything. Little known trivia bit, I used to drive a Dodge delivery van for a florist and green house during the summers.
With a lot on my brain, I pushed off from a rainy Atlanta and pushed the turbo diesel into cruise control.
33 hours of driving later, I would be back in Los Angeles ready to crash from drinking Rockstar, coffee, and Monster.
Check out the sunsets, clouds, and snaps from the driver’s seat.
debatable. decently beautiful.
Future 22. Nothing ahead, nothing behind. Just open highway for miles.
One hand on the wheel, one hand triggering the LX-2
Clouds in the reflection.
Accident drive by outside of Memphis.
I think when the money comes in- I’m going to pick up this old place and flip it for CASH.
Crossing the Mississippi
Bienvenidos Arkansas.
Steam rising up in the hills up ahead.
Off and on rain collects on the side view mirrors.
All you can eat… Sunsets.
After staying the night in Texas, I hit the road and pushed through New Mexico.
Big white fluffy clouds blowing by and looking amazing.
Objects in the mirror are places you have been.
Looking for what’s next.
Windows down, FM radio on, Americana. Its funny how much Journey comes on American radio. Raised on Radio.
In Albuquerque, New Mexico- where my Grandma Roegge lived. It brought back memories filling up the van outside of Old Town- a place we visited while I was here as a kid. Rest In Peace Grandma Roegge. It was nice to be in the shadow of Mt. Sandia.
Out into the desert.
Splat. Bugs. The sun sinks into the horizon and brings the second day to a close. California, it felt like I was hardly gone.
On the road. FM stations fade out. New ones crackle in. Keep pushing. When the destination doesn’t seem clear- remember that its all in the journey.
