In preparation for my Road Trip from California back to Texas, I bought film for my Diana mini-camera, which uses 35mm film and an old Canon AE film camera (35mm film) with a 50mm lens. Good times. We took Hwy 40 from LA to Flagstaff, seeing the Grand Canyon the next morning, then continuing on to Albuquerque. Our final day was the long miserable push through Clovis NM, Lubbock and finally home sweet home. A Very Useful Tip: when you pass that gas station in eastern California with nothing around it, STOP AND GET GAS. It’s about 90 miles until the next one. Fortunately Jenna’s Prius went about 45 miles on that last gallon, hallelujah. We were definitely freaking out.
We rested two days in Austin before piling back into the car and driving 1000 miles to Mom and Dad’s in south Georgia for Christmas. Yes, I drove 3500 miles in a week. And I will never do it again.
