The road trip I took with my husband, sister and one of her friends was the most memorable I have taken. We drove my new car all the way to Colorado Springs which took over 13 hours with potty and gas breaks. I remember we were hitting some snow and ice in the Texas panhandle, to the point where I was afraid Lucille (our car) was not going to make it up the hilly roads. When we drove through some agriculture heavy towns with silos all over the place, we encountered a slew of tumbleweeds. These things were BIG and two of them freaks actually got stuck up underneath the front of Lucille to the point we had to get out and maneuver them out. Since tumbleweeds like to have thorns and barbs on them, this was more of a challenge than was originally thought. That same town had an overwhelming smell of cow manure as well, so that was a fun experience. Going from the flat plains of Texas to the mountainous backdrop of Colorado was breathtaking and the highlight of that trip.
The scariest road trip was one I took with just my husband. We were heading to Leakey, Texas which is in west hill country where we were going to be staying the weekend with Kolton’s family in a cabin. Because I had to leave from work, it was late by the time we made it into the deeper parts of woods. We were on a seemingly never-ending stretch of road that was pitch black outside of our windows. There were some half-baked attempts of putting streetlights on this one lane road, but the trees were swallowing most of the light. We were both freaking each other out since I swore, I was seeing things out my window, running alongside us within the tree line. Kolton kept looking in the rearview, expecting to see someone in the backseat. It was spooky man. At one point, it was raining which just added to the ambience and fear, but we did make it there safely obviously lol
