From Seattle to Austin! 2500 miles of adventure!

Leaving Seattle, destined to make it home well before the Euro tour begins, I pack up the family and set out at almost noon and made it past the California border just after 9pm. Yes, I was flying :)
But I did manage to pick up a few stops and new sights along the way :) Go BEAVERS!!
 After arriving in CA I made a quick stop at one of my favorite pole studios ever, Twirly Girls. Not for pole dancing but for a visit. Miss B and hubbie featured here have grown on me quite a bunch over the last...goodness has it been years guys? We have many adventures yet to come, including HALF DOME!! snowboarding and a wrestling match where I kick D's ass! It would totally not happen now, that guy is a f'n machine~!
 Hwy 58, driving through the mountains on my way to my very favorite new hobby!
 Jawbone Canyon...I wonder what they do there...hmmm
Thats right! Mother fn dirt biking! Believe it or not I'm not to shabby. I've wiped really well about three times. First, I ran into a fence. Second, I found a hole! And third, I shoulder blocked a Mojave yucca plant! That was not a good match. This was my little 150. Next time we ride, were pulling out the KTM! Watch out bitches!
Good old La Brea Blvd...I was wondering why it is always covered in sh*t....
Aw sh*t...am I on a sound stage. I wonder what I was doing? OTG!! Orginal Twirly Girl!! Love you Momma Bel!!
Arizona-My memory of driving through AZ was only sparkled with a visit from my old and bestest friends Fiona. Many of you will remember her from the Hysteria days of the Noc Noc.
Vin had taken ill by something he had ate/drank in CA and quickly became so dehydrated I had to stop in Tucson to get him some medical attention., The peeps at Southern Arizona Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center were quite awesome. Really just the docs and techs, the whole experience otherwise was quite horrible.
After a day in hospital Vinnie was rocking back to his old self. Almost anyway. We had to do our normal 3/4 hour stops but he needed to be feed one more time per day and monitored. Pretty easy since we were still to be on the road for another day.
Back in the Land of Enchantment! I flew through NM but not with the best of news to offer! Vin took a sh*t! Not just a shit but a solid one! If you could understand the trauma this poor little guy had gone through you'd be throwing your bowl of pop corn in the air. 
 Deadly roadrunners in NM. The size of giraffes! Notice Vin is not in photo, he ran faster than me!
Home sweet home...well not really. When you see this sign it gives you a sense of false hope. Texas is almost one thousand miles wide. When you see this sign, there is still 10 hours to go.
Somebody better say how awesome this pic is cause I was on the side of the road getting honked out by dirty truckers (thanks for making America roll guys!) for ten minutes!
Yucca plant....grrrrrrr
