We departed on our trip a little later than expected. Graham and I got to LA at around 3:45 and we didnt leave Jenna and Craig's house til about 5:45. We stopped for gas and food at an amazing little place called “Locali” where I got the most delicious Gluten-free sandwich and peanut butter cookies, a tastey Honey Root Beer and these really good raw Kale “Notchos” things. We finally got on the freeway at about 6:45. Driving for the first few hours was super fun. Graham had a mouthful of food and stories for us to hear before he fell asleep, Craig told us hilarious tales from his daily life on the job and we all checked our facebook/twitter/texts frequently. We departed LA in a car full of 4 people, a couple bags of clothes, some rockclimbing gear, 2 apple laptops, 2 blackberries and 2 iphones. We stopped in Bakersfield for some water and toilet usage and I overheard these women talking very exuberantly in the restrooms about being owed money from their bosses. At around 9 we settled down a little bit and started listening to Radiohead's “Hail to the Thief”. At one point Jenna leaned forward and said “4 of the most talkative people we all know are sitting in one car... silent”. Hahah and that's the truth.
When we all came to at around 5 am Graham was getting a ticket in Northern California for speeding. It was kind of jarring, we were all stumbling around looking for registration, insurance information etc. After we got the ticket Jenna asked the cop if he would mind taking a picture with us. He wasn't really having that at all. He said he wasn't allowed to be photographed with people unless it was the media. Jenna weakly attempted to convince him that she was paparazzi and when that didn't work we were on our way.
