Well we have been having a fun-filled time with getting one hour of sleep then going off to Tim's (Tim Hortons's, our meeting spot) and getting our spot on the small bus with no AC but it was fun listening to everyone's jokes and talking to people. My seat buddy was Mr. W and I had the unfortunate spot right above the wheel well so leg room was limited and it was a long day of driving with the windows open trying to get the wind to keep us cool.

So at one pit stop we came to the largest gas station in my life and found a Praying Mantis that then flew up and was dive bombed by 2 birds (and one of them gobbled him up). So the trip continued and the night sky took over cooling the bus down and with all the wind it was likea wind tunnel but everyone got cold so the windows were shut and my awesome wind tunnel was ruined.

So with everyone going to sleep I cracked out the gameboy and played because there was no way I was going to fall asleepso I played all night waiting for the sun to rise and at about 7 am, me and Mr. W switched seats so I could put my head against the window and try to sleep. Five minutes later an oil line burst and filled the bus with with smoke so we pulled over and got out and tried to fix it.. Then we decided to just wait at the McDonalds for the big bus to come and get us after it dropped off the other group at Six Flags. I grabbed a chocolte shake for breakfast, waited 5 hours after many delays and finally make our way off to teh best roller coasters ever. Going the speed of jet fighters taking off a carrier (really fast); going down a 255 foot drop and on some crazy thing that flips you around during the ride ... it was awesome.

Then we left and slept in a church that wasn't too far away. We got a decent meal and some rest before traveling more in some vans, passing a really cool naval base with a mega carrier, some regular carriers and battle ships. We ventured further, coming to a huge hill were we had to kill the AC so the engine didn't blow up again. We eventually made it to the camp site of Eden and it is the only green space for like a few thousand miles and it is beautiful and we got stuff in the tijuanna market for real cheap.

It was fun.

See ya.
