Signage

The other night Jon wanted to get out of the house. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do, but just that he didn't want to be home. I agreed so we jumped in the car and I started to drive. Granted it was pretty late in the evening to take a random road trip, but I am always game. Jon's brother had mentioned that we should see Coalville, if we hadn't already since we like interesting old buildings. So, that's where I headed.

We got to Coalville, drove down the main street and just kept driving to see where the road would take us. We drove around Echo Reservoir, which was pretty cool at night. Plus it was slightly stormy so the sky was full of cool clouds. I didn't really get any pictures since I was driving.

But we did end up driving into the town of Echo and came across these two spots. We stopped and I took a couple of quick pictures.

We continued to driving around the area, but by this time it was getting super dark and we really didn't know where we were. Thanks to the iphone blue dot, we quickly got our barrings and headed home.

I took this picture the other day of a building at one of the locations Jon did a photo shoot. I was really drawn to the sign on the front and that the wood was so weathered.

Roadtrip - Jamestown Wyoming

Jon and I recently took a roadtrip into Wyoming to look at a truck Jon was interested in buying. Before taking a roadtrip I like to look up the route on google maps and then check a few different websites. I like to see if any of the towns we might pass by are ghost towns or have cool points of interest. One of the towns we passed through on our adventure was Jamestown. There wasn't a lot of buildings of interest; but this one really stuck out, so we spend some time taking pictures. Jon with his professional DSLR and me with my point and shoot. yay.

The following are *my* pictures.

Roadtrip

Over President's Weekend Jon and I decided to take a roadtrip to Arizona. We were hoping to escape the mountains of snow and cold for a few days. However, since we decided to drive we had a little ways to go until we made it out of Utah.



While driving we decided that we are old souls. This is because we like to take the scenic route and love to stop and find old buildings or other interesting things.



While we were driving we encountered these super birds. I swear they are the size of Zee. I was feeding them teddy grahams so that I could take their picture. The rest of the trip whenever we saw one we joked that they heard we were handing out teddy grahams.



Once we made it to Flagstaff we were surprised to find that we were caught in a snow storm. So much for avoiding the snow. We did endure and most of our time was spent in Sedona and Jerome, where the weather was sunny but definitely jacket weather. My next post will have pictures from Jerome.

On the way home we took US 89 and decided that we would investigate all of the little towns for old cars. By this time my digital camera was full, since I had forgotten to take old pictures off it before we left. But I was able to make enough space to take this picture of Jon stuck in the snow.
