| | Alright, so Im sure that no one reads this anymore but for those of you
that do your waiting has finally come to an end. I have got some
sweet pics and stories to tell you. Well I left you right before
Christmas break and oh my was it a good one. Here we go:
Well first off I was supposed to start off the break going on a doubble
date with Carrie Underwood, the past American Idol winner for those of
you who dont know. One of my friends that I work with is her
boyfriend and we were supposed to go on a doubble date with them two
and Andrea and I. Well that fell through and we werent able to
make it happen. I was upset that I didnt get to meet her, but
truthfully I was probally more upset that I didnt get to go on a date
with the girl that was going to be my date, Andrea. But oh well
that whole thing was an entire nother story entirely.
The break went on with me working every day and doubbles most of the
days for about 2 weeks. Yeah, this part of the break sucked
royally. Really. I was about to tear off the head of the
next customer that asked me what our sweet corn is...........ITS
FREAKIN CORN! You know the stuff the indinas helped us make! Come on
people. Sorry. Anyways, yeah work really blew for those 2
weeks but I definitely made some good money.
Next came my trip to T-Town. Yeah I headed to Tulsa to hang out
with all my guys there and got to hang out with my girls a little
too. I had a blast in Tulsa. I always do though. I
stayed with my good friend Blake. He is a great guy and I was
glad I got to hang out with him alot over the break. But Tulsa
was a blast. I had a great time.
From Tulsa I left for my next destination on my journey across the
country. I went to Passion with Asbury, the church in Tulsa that
most of my friends go to. Passion was amazing. I had a
great time hanging out with all of my friends that I went with but I
also had a good time meeting alot of the other people that went with
us. Got to meet a lot of Blake and Thomas's friends and they are
all really cool people who I really enjoyed getting to know.
Passion itself was pretty amazing. The best part for me was
definitely just seeing 18,000 college students all worshiping God at
the same time. It was aw inspiring.
Well after Passion we drove back to T-Town but I turned around and
headed straight back to Fayetteville. But just for a short
time. This is when we started our Road Trip 06'! There are
way too many stories that happened on our road trip to tell here but I
will hit the hi-lights.
So we (myself, my roomate matt, and my buddy andrew
parrish) took off from Springdale, AR around noon on the afternoon of
January the 7th. We were about to embark on a journey that would
change our lives forever..........well ok, maybe not but it was a
stinkin sweet week and a half. We drove to Tulsa and got the oil
changed in the car where we were able to see our wonderfull friend
Amanda. We couldnt visit long though because we had a lot of road
ahead of us that was calling our name. So I drove through the
night all the way to Amarillo, Texas with only a "minor" setback in
Oklahoma City that consisted of getting lost looking for maps at 4
different outdoor stores around the city. It was a collossal
waste of time but fun none the less. So after about 12 hours
straight of driving Parrish took over the controls of the
"adventure-mobile" After making it without too much difficulty through
Roswell, NM and a fairly creepy wind generator field we arrived to this
city in New Mexico that I really cant recall the name of. We
ended up climbing a small mountain there, taking a nap at the top and
getting sun burnt. It was good times. But our journey
continued. Parrish drove a little farther West to Silver City,
New Mexico where we did some camping for a few days in the Hila
National Forest. This is by far the best part of our trip and
where most all of the pictures below are from. The short version
is that we hiked about 4 miles, Parrish and I hiked up a huge mountain
with tons of cliffs, camped that night, hiked another 4 miles along a
river to a hot spring. The spring was about 85-90 degrees and was
a blast. We then went ahead and night-hiked the whole 8 miles
back to the car. Amazing. That was what the entire hike
was, simply amazing. Cant be described in words and the pictures
do it no justice either. Well after that we continued on to
Cali. We hung out in San Diego a while, hitting up a few beaches
and eatin at this great little pizza shop in Coranado where Kramp and
Parrish became smitten with our waitress. Oh my fun times.
Well after that we headed up to L.A. where we lived on the edge and
slept in our car in the parking lot of this grocery store outside of
Hollywood. In L.A. we went to be a studio audience for the late
late show with craig furgeson. After that we went out for a night
on the town and ate at this really cool restaurant while listening to
this band that was playing on the side of the street. After that
we headed back. We stopped by the grand canyon on the way back
but not before Kramp almost killed us all. So he fell asleep
while driving and wrecked the car, sending us careening across the
road, through the median and into oncoming traffic. Thankfully we
were all ok and the can of gas that was in the trunk did not
explode! So we continued to drive to the Grand Canyon where we
stayed for a coupple hours then drove straight back to the
F-Town. And that concluded our amazing journey to the end of the
earth and back. We made it without killing eachother and having
some fun in the process. So over all I would say it was a
sucessfull trip. Here are some pics to prove my point:
Parrish taking a leap
Sunset atop a mountain
Cool scenery
Parrish hanging from a cliff looking through a hole.
The same hole that Parrish is in
If you look closely you can see me climbing up that rock.
Yeah that is the moon I am holding in my hand.
Parrish and I at the top of the mountain.
Parrish and I wasting film at the end of the roll at the end of our journey.
Silouette of the skyline on our way down the mountain.
That is me going down in to the abyss on our way down the mountain at night, yeah that was a smart idea.
Sunset at Coranado
My roomie and I on Coranado Island. If only it would have been a girl with me on the beach at sunset............
Another at sunset, I love sunsets and I love the water, the two together are amazing
Grand Canyon, it was cool, but compared to the other things we did and saw it was just alright.
Look at that sky.
My roomate swimin in the hot spring.
Killer cactus thing in NM.
The three amigos on our crazy trip. We are next to the White
Sands Missile Range close to the trinity site where the first atomic
bomb was dropped.
Sunset in NM, we saw tons of these beautiful paintings from God.
Takin it all in.
Backpacking.
Atop the world!
Well there you have it our Road Trip. It was an amazing
experience and one that I would love to do again. Well that is it
for this post I believe. If you actually read the entire thing
then why thank you very much for caring that much. Well actually
you just probally have way too much time on your hands, but thanks
anyways. But hey, I will be back later, it might be a while like
sometimes, but I will be back so stick around for more from the wild
and adventerous life of the one and only Scott Zarse.
