Day 1: Hanging in Long Beach

So it's been a while since we've posted anything, but we are finally officially at the starting point of our journey. After an emotionally exhausting Senior Week and Commencement, we are ready to begin our journey. We landed late yesterday evening at Long Beach Airport and had In -N - Out Burger. We then slept for many hours.

Today, we woke up and went to the repair shop to pick up the car and went to pick up some gear at the REI in Huntington Beach. We found 3 sleeping bags that are rated to 35 degrees and picked up a canvas bag to strap to the top of the car so we can carry more gear than the car can hold by itself. After this, we went back to Long Beach for a great dinner and then went in the Jacuzzi. All in all a good day. We are looking at a Friday or Saturday departure date for our first stop, Joshua Tree National Park.

That's all for now.
