Road less traveled

"Dust blows across a dirt road somewhere west of Simpson Springs, Utah on Sunday, April 11, 2010."

Last Sunday I ventured out west - way out west.

After driving miles and miles on graded and ungraded dirt, rock roads, listening to good tunes and laughing with friends, it came to a time to turn around.

But the drive made me realize something.

I came to realize the true meaning and found a respect for the term "in the middle of nowhere."

All my life I used the term loosely when describing my location and travels. I think I've found what it really means last week after being far from civilization.

It was energizing and surreal.

If there are no: gas stations, convenient stores, people, or animals, for two hours, one way, it's the middle of nowhere in my book. hahaha.
