• Camped with the waves of the ocean as background noise in Salt Point in California, then another two nights under the star of the stunning desert night sky in Joshua Tree (CA) and Valley of Fire (NV)
• We stayed at 15 different places. That means we had to "move" 15 times...
• ...and I say "move" because we were carrying everything we own with us. We believe we didn't lose anything.
• We had to leave one of those places at 2am because of some crazy dudes pounding our door.
• We ran into very nice, and very rude people.
• Our diet could have been better, having a kitchen at some of the places helped a lot.
• I lost count of how many sunrises I witnessed. It doesn't get boring though.
