On the road, and a day off

Coachella was amazing, as usual. For more info and better pictures than I know how to take of coachella, check out their website. 3 days of seeing all sorts of bands and acts, most of which I never heard of, just a great time all around.

Time to get back on the road. I decided to attack the north rim of the grand canyon, by way of las vegas, before heading to phoenix. The road from Indio California to Lake Havasu City Arizona was pretty terrible. Wind wind and more wind! Constant pushing and pulling of the handlebars was required to stop freya from going off the road!

Most of the way seemed like I was cutting straight through the middle of nowhere, and then it got really interesting around Parker. Theres just something beautiful about a body of water, be it a lake or river, surrounded by desert plateaus. Sorry for no pics, but you can imagine it.

I also came as close as Ive ever been to being in an accident on this trip. It happened to fast it took a few minutes to fully set in. 2 lane highway, 60mph speed limit (which I'm doing), and a certain dumb asshole driving a truck and pulling a trailer. This dumbass was 2 cars behind me and decided to pass everybody in one shot. I didnt see him until the last second, where had I not slammed my brakes he would have ran head on into an 18 wheeler. Seemed like not even 2 feet in front of me was the corner of this guys trailer, an 18 wheelers front bumper, and my front tire all so so close together.

So close and so fast, and then of course 500 feet away the highway gains another lane just for people to pass! The nerve and lack of brains and patience of people astounds me.

Not too far after that I was in Lake Havasu City, where I currently am. I took a day off to just hang out and recharge everything after coachella.

Tomorrow, I'll be in Las Vegas. I probably wont stay there, I might just drive on through. We'll see when I get there!
