The Great Drive

May 27th Miles: 598
Total Miles: 2698

Today I had planned to drive toward northern Arizona via Highway 160 and on to Highway 89, skirting through southern Utah. However at Shiprock, New Mexico I unknowingly began heading south. Only after an hour of driving and gut feeling did I stop and ask what road I was driving. After confirming my suspicion, I made a decision to change course.

In order to see a good friend in Los Angeles, I needed to ideally arrive in L.A. by Monday. That would not happen if I was to continue on the small stretches of back roads like I had been driving in previous days. I decided to stay on New Mexico Highway 491 South, meet up with Interstate 40, and head west toward Los Angeles– the quick way.
