Mountain Road

I spent the day driving today.
Because we managed to schedule back to back vacations.
Due to an error on behalf of the current place we're staying at, they never changed our reservation to a different week like thought they had....so this vacation ended up happening a weekish earlier than we had planned....because thankfully our schedules worked out that we could go on vacation anyways. So yay. 

In any case.
I spent the day driving. 
To a place where we haven't been before.

Like we've been in a similar area.

But this place is completely new.

So driving to it....ended up being a bit of an adventure.

As we're in the middle of the mountains, driving through the canyons.
And Kikay, the navigator, is like "Okay we're going to take this route because the gps says its faster!" So I followed the instructions....
And we ended up turning onto this dirt road.

But it wasn't a normal dirt road.

Like it was wide like a normal road....but made of dirt.
And it was weird dirt. Like wet dirt....but we were sliding...
Daddoo later said there might have been oil on the road to keep down the dust?
No idea.
*shakes head*

But it was this weird wide dirt road that wound through a countryesque mountain path. 

I have no idea why the gps took us that route.
Because I don't think it ended up being faster.

But it was very pretty.
Despite the hair-raising moments where the weird slick/not slick road acted like it was icy/snow covered and our tires weren't taking to the road correctly and there are steep sides to either side of the road so yah...often we slowed way down to go around curves and such. 

And it was stressful because I was the driver. :S

*shakes head*
Such a random route. 
So random.
We aren't going back that way. 

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.

Enjoy the day!
