i will freeze until the end / love is love's reprieve

after zion, we woke up and drove to colorado. we stopped in bryce on the way and also passed through capitol reef national park. this was one of the longest drives in my life. we were in the middle of nowhere - and by nowhere, i really mean, nowhere. not middle of nowhere pennsylvania, middle of nowhere utah. i started to go a little insane. by this point, i was tired of the isolation. tired of the nothingness. tired of the red rock, the crazy landscape, tired of a world that didn't feel like home. most of the day was spent driving through this kind of landscape. eventually, we made to colorado and on the other side of the border, we stopped in mancos, a small town i'd spent some in before. we stayed at a motel, woke in the morning, had great breakfast and drove through the san juan mountains up to boulder. there was snow. there was cold. my pictures sucked because of the fog and gray. eventually we made it to boulder and spent the night two nights with chris and lacy. this was precious time.

bryce

san juan mountains are the most scenic mountains in america.
these pictures do an awful job at showing that.
this put in a bad mood for a long time.
