Runaway Day 2

I have no idea what I dreamed last night but I flew out of bed in the middle of the night surprised to find myself not in my bedroom!
I left Spokane (after stopping by Starbucks) and headed west on the #2 in Washington. It was perhaps the most amazing drive I have ever taken! Right outside of Spokane the land got quite bland, flat and dead looking. Really, I could have been in Saskatchewan! Before long I crossed onto the 25 for a brief while and passed through a forest before crossing back onto field land. I stopped to eat my lunch over looking a canyon before heading down into a valley with lush orchards and through the mountains.
If ever you are looking for a road-trip to head out on I HIGHLY recommend this trip. I was close to tears at many times today (including when I was really tired and had to wait 15 minutes to get service at the hotel lounge, 45 more minutes to be served (after giving up and reminding the server I ordered food) and having to hunt the server down to ask for a glass of water for the second time!!). The trip through the mountains was foggy and rainy. It was a creepy feeling - you knew that there where mountains looming over you, but couldn't see them nor the cliffs you would crash into if you drove off the road! The snowdrifts next to road must have been over 5 feet in some places! Eventually I reached the far side of the mountains and the deep greens of the valley floor. The air was fresh and moist and my skin is thanking me for coming.
The entire time I relished in the beauty thinking, "If this is the beauty God created here, Heaven is REALLY going to blow our minds!!"
How blessed am I?! I get to take the time to come on this trip, the courage to head out alone and the faith to know I am not alone. I have no worries. I have nothing to complain about. I am far beyond blessed!!
