After spending a little over a year in Fort Worth, Texas we were finally really to make West to Portland, Oregon. We packed up our life and chose to take our mini caravan through a route that cut across New Mexico, the corner of Colorado and up Utah. Needless to say, it was one of the most beautiful drives I have ever been on. I had never seen the giant rocks of New Mexico or the red canyons of Utah and I was more than impressed. I could not have asked for a better view while we physically drove away from one chapter of our life and into the next, half way across the country. It seemed as if these wild, expansive landscapes that looked empty of any human activity, were never-ending. A few times I felt like I was looking on the path to Mordor with the rocky hills that led into peaked mountains. If I ever have the opportunity in the future, I would love to visit those red rocks in Utah again and really explore that otherworldly landscape.
