Author: Today's Memoir

I didn’t have the best night’s sleep. I slept at a Love’s truck stop, which I’ve done numerous times, but at this one a woman kept making announcements on some loud speaker so that kept waking me up. I also parked underneath a tree and anytime a leaf fell on my car, I could hear it and it would wake me up. It’s so odd that I can sleep through purring truck engines and trucks braking at the nearby stop sign and the bustling highway, but will wake up to a measly leaf hitting my car.🤷‍♀️

The temperature was nice last night at least—about 55 degrees, which is great car sleeping weather with a down comforter. I woke up at 5:30am because I knew I had a long drive ahead of me. My route home happened to pass through Cincinnati so of course I let my in-laws know (they live in Cincinnati) and we were all excited to see each other in a physically distant way. I asked if I could sleep in my sister-in-law’s (her name is Meredith) driveway and she (and my mother-in-law, Marina) tried offering me a hotel stay, which was super duper generous, but I insisted that if it were OK with Meredith that I would just sleep in her driveway so I can leave early in the AM. Covid times make life interesting right? Like, when did I ever think I’d be sleeping in my sister-in-law’s driveway in my car?🤣

I arrived to Meredith’s house and her kiddos were waving me in. Kai, my nephew immediately showed me his mushroom collection (we totally bond over this!) And he made me these cute mushroom figurines to take home:

Nick, my other nephew greeted me on his hover board and of course he got his Aunt Erika to try hover boarding for the first time🤣. Hover boarding takes LOTS of practice to get down, y’all.

It was sooooooooooo nice to see my in-laws and I am incredibly grateful to be so loved by them and part of their family. I seriously won the in-law jackpot. Marina (mother-in-law) brought me a homemade apple bread to bring home, and Meredith and her husband made us dinner and we sat outside very physically distant with masks on at all times until we ate, and ate turkey burgers and sweet potato fries near a bon fire. I am sad we won’t be spending Thanksgiving together this year, but I am so grateful I got to see all of them.

And of course I got to have some of my mother-in-law’s amazing cookies🤤. She is the queen of chocolate chip cookie baking.

I drove A LOT today (almost 12 hours with traffic) but the prize at the end of the day was spending time with my family💙.

I’m heading home to CLE tomorrow and am SO excited to see my husband and our puppers 🐶 🐶!!

Oh, total side note: my brother Bucky also became a daddy today!!!!! I am SOOOOOO thrilled for him and his wife, Max, and I can’t wait to meet (when it’s safe) my new little nephew!! 👶

I had the most amazing night’s sleep at WangShi China Bed & Breakfast in Oklahoma City. The bed was super comfortable and the sun greeted me through the translucent floral curtains. I went out to my balcony and sat on the wooden swing and just soaked in the sun’s rays feeling super grateful for this trip I’ve been able to take.

I had breakfast downstairs waiting for me at 8:30am and my god it was a feast they served me. I felt badly that I only ate maybe 1/4 of it! I don’t know about you, but I’m not super hungry in the mornings!

Dow, the co-owner and my guy with the lime green sneakers came down to say good morning and had breakfast with me. He offered me some baileys for my coffee and I thought why the hell not.

Dow is 90 years-old and told me some of his life stories like how he was an architect and how he met his wife Victoria. He told me about some of his other businesses and I (happily) gave him some free advice as I do online marketing.

I also got to tell him a little bit about my solo trip adventuring and he was SHOCKED I was doing this trip, but admitted he was “old school.” He had a difficult time understanding how I could travel alone as a woman and leave my husband behind at home, but he was somewhat mesmerized by it and willing to understand, so I got to tell him that a lot of women want to know what it’s like to feel free. To go somewhere and not feel like we are beholden to other people. To make our own path without being told what path we should be on. To satiate our inner curiosity. And I told him how I had always wanted to do a solo trip, yet [legitimate] fear and excuses held me back. But some fierce spark in me was telling me to “just go” — so I listened to that inner voice and went.

I told Dow how one day I woke up and told my husband I was going to do this trip and how my husband was super supportive of it and even helped me prepare. Dow’s mouth was agape as I don’t think he EVER expected to have a guest like me come waltzing through his B&B.

As I left, he told me he was so glad I stopped in and that he learned a lot from me. But I also learned a lot from Dow, too. He demonstrated to me, even at 90 years-old to do what you love and to have curiosity about others. Of course I had to get a pic with this lovely couple who helped make this journey all the more fun! Everyone, meet Down and Victoria.

As I left, I had to get one more pic of the pimp-ass limo.

Next, I headed into Oklahoma City. I went to The Jones Assembly per a recommendation from another woman solo traveler, but it didn’t open until 4pm—boo! So, I headed to Elemental Coffee and brought my Atlas with me so I could plan my next stop. After a little while I got a little hungry, so I got some salmon toast and it was the bomb dot com.

I decided I wanted to take a scenic byway (Route 1), which extended into Arkansas. It was a lot of ups, downs, and tight turns.

After several hours of driving, I made it into Little Rock, AR around 7pm and scoped out where I was staying. I couldn’t get any pics of Little Rock tonight because it is too dark. I have a long drive ahead of me tomorrow, so I am going to cut this blog a little short and I’ll catch you all tomorrow!

I drove 12 hours today. But today was wild🤪.

I woke up at 6am so I could leave Gallup to go to Albequerque, which was 2 hours away. I had a client call, so I wanted to make sure I had internet and good cell service. Last night, I decided I would check out The Grove Cafe & Market, which has amazing reviews along with scrumptious looking food. Their Google My Business listing mentioned “dine-in” so I figured I’d grab breakfast there and have my client call.

When I got into Albequerque, it didn’t have that hustle-bustle feeling like most cities have. I got to the cafe and they informed me that New Mexico is basically on a two week lock down where NO restaurants are having any dine in. Whoops! So I got take out in my car and hooked up my hotspot, plugged my laptop into my Jackery (my portable charger) and I was in business for a client call 😎

Here is the DELICIOUS breakfast I had: sweet potato hash with roasted sweet potatoes, feta, cauliflower rice, avocado, roasted mushrooms, tomatillo salsa, sunflower sprouts, sunny side up egg😍

I was going to check out the art scene in Albequerque, but since it seemed many businesses were closed, I decided to trek to my next destination.

I originally was going to stay the night in Amarillo, TX, but I figured I could drive more, which would give me more time to spend at another destination. I felt like I was flailing without much of a plan— I mean this whole trip’s itinerary hasn’t had much planning, but today I didn’t feel like I had my “goal place”, or a place to look forward to going like I’ve had previous days.

Because I was driving so much, of course I had to get gas numerous times, and one of my first gas stops took me WAY off the beaten path to get back to 1-40.

I was off the beaten path for about 25 minutes and not one car passed me. And because it was so secluded, I saw some antelope (American Pronghorn Antelope to be precise)!!

I made one turn per my GPS’s instruction and drove along this gorgeous path:

And then I spotted a roadrunner!! I don’t think I had ever seen a roadrunner in person—and it was much smaller than I expected. Probably because the cartoon depicted a much larger bird.

This is what the roadrunner looks like (image from Pinterest, Jeff Beavers)

Fun fact: according to newmexico.org, “On March 16, 1949, the New Mexico Legislature named the roadrunner as its official state avian species the “Chaparral Bird,” aka Geococcyx californianus, aka the greater roadrunner. … Native peoples, who admire the bird’s speed, sometimes use its X-shaped footprint as a sacred symbol to keep evil spirits from following them.”

Also on this “off the beaten path drive”, I drove by a little cemetery

And drove by this abandoned bus

Next stop, Amarillo, TX

I planned to stop at one destination here per a recommendation from my step mom: Cadillac Ranch. What a neat spectacle, and it’s literally right off I-40!

I got back into my car and saw a text from my mom. She wanted to treat me to a hotel stay somewhere. Wow, how loved am I?! She let me pick, so I quickly decided I would haul my ass to Oklahoma City. Another girl I follow who does solo road tripping was in Oklahoma City recently and she LOVED it, so I thought I would check it out too. I looked at hotels and bed & breakfasts and decided to stay at WangShi China Palace Bed and Breakfast. It looked fascinating and had good reviews so I called ahead to ask if I could drop in that night and they said yes —this story to be continued 🤣🤣.

On my way there, I’m fairly certain I saw a grass/brush fire (it’s severely dry in Texas right now)

Oklahoma City

Okay. Are y’all ready for this story?

I got into Oklahoma City (finally) around 7:30pm and I hadn’t had dinner yet.

I missed my turn when trying to find WangShi China Palace Bed and Breakfast because it was down a long driveway and it was dark out. Looking at the pictures online, I did NOT believe it was in the area it was. It’s off of a rural-ish road right outside the city…It was stunning!

As I’m checking in, I realize they have this awesome indoor pool so I had to ask when the pool closed and they said, “you can swim in it anytime, you’re the only guest here.”

Another pool all to myself?! Wow!

Because I hadn’t eaten dinner yet, I asked about restaurants in town that were good, and one of the owners began listing some but we found that many of the restaurants closed around 9pm. One of the owners then said, “don’t worry, we will find you food…I’ll take you into town.”

I said I didn’t mind going on my own to find food, but this co-owner insisted. To describe this co-owner, he’s an older Vietnam Vet who wore lime green sneakers. I thought he was harmless so I thought ‘why not…YOLO’ and then he said, “I’ll pull the limo around.”

Huh? A limo?! Wtf?! Did I hear that right?!

He was already outside to go fetch my limo so I turned to the hotel front desk worker, Carla, and asked if he normally did this and if it was included in they stay and she said, “yup.”

So here I am, in baggy clothes, zero makeup, haven’t showered in a couple days and am about to be transported around in a city I’ve never been to in a pimp-ass limo to get whatever food we can find. WHAT. PLANET. AM. I. ON.

We found a restaurant that was open until 9:30…a Thai restaurant! He pulled in, got my door and told me to take my time and he’d be waiting for me. Again, WHAT. PLANET. AM. I. ON.

I got Tom Yum soup, chicken satay and a Sapporo beer, which totally satiated my hunger.

I walked out, and sure enough, my man in lime green sneakers was there to pick me up. Hell yeah.

We headed back and once we got back, I went for a swim to work off some calories and just move some from all the sitting from the driving. It was nice to get my heart rate up and do some laps!

It’s hard to see, but there was a bridge over this pool, so it was actually quite long!

Afterward, I headed to my room and began writing because I had to tell you all about my day! Also, here’s a pic of my room. KING BED Y’ALL👸 (thanks again, mom…you’re the best!)

I also have a balcony with a wooden swing outside and a fire pit. It’s been a wild, good day. Despite driving so much, it’s actually been one of the most fun days because of all the unexpected.💙

Hey y’all! Coming to ya from Gallup, NM at the moment. I originally thought my route back would go through the southern part of Colorado, but it can get way too cold at night, so I headed south. I woke up early to trek to the Grand Canyon. I had to go to the South Entrance as I believe that is the only entrance open during the winter months. I really wanted to hit up the North Rim as I am told that is the less touristy section.

I got into the park and made my way to Mather Point

I will say— the canyon is very grand. There were more people there than I was comfortable with so I headed to the Desert View, which barely had anyone there and I liked that spot much more.

I also saw some amazing geodes on the way back to my car!

As I headed out, I kept looking through the woods to see if I could see any deer, elk, bears, eagles, mountain lions—anything. And I stumbled upon about 30 elk and got about 15 feet away from them!

Below, there are about 8 elk in this photo alone!

After the Grand Canyon stop, I headed to Meteor Crater National Landmark. I went down a secluded road and at every mile marker, there were signed saying I was getting closer and closer the the crater. Finally, there was a sign with “Meteor” and arrows and so I parked my car and ran up this huge hillside.

Once I got to the top, my thoughts were, this is definitely not a crater. I then saw a sign that said “no trespassing” and realized I was on someone’s private land 😅. I ran to my car and once I sat in my car, it felt like I had 20 little cuts around my ankles…come to find out I had about 20 little thorns around my ankles that I had to carefully pluck out. Here are pics of what I thought the meteor crater was:

As you can see, it’s severely disappointing and NOT a crater.

After I got all the thorns out, I went up the road some more, only to find this (the actual entrance to the Meteor Crater) 😑

I took my wounded ankles and slightly deflated spirit to the next point of interest: The Painted Desert. I think I loved this spot the most today for some reason. I think it’s because it was off the beaten path, was unexpected beauty and wasn’t touristy.

After soaking in the beauty of the Painted Desert, I headed out to find dinner and a place to crash. As I was driving, I saw the most amazing sun set.

I wish I could have grabbed more shots of this sun set, but I was limited with where I could pull over on Route 40. How I would describe the sun set and the scenery would be this: the sun set dusted all of the wild grass fields and wildflowers alongside the highway in gold. The portion of sky to my right was baby blue with wisps of white and dark blue clouds and the portion of sky to my left had hues of lilac, magenta and sherbet oranges. It was stunning.

I’m off to Albuquerque, NM tomorrow most likely. Let me know if you have any must dos/sees in Albuquerque (or the northern parts of New Mexico!)

Hello everybody! I woke up to catch the sun rise at Zion. It was pretty seeing the sun pour on the gargantuan rocks. I didn’t sleep all that well. I went to bed chilly—mostly because I didn’t use my insulated reflectix to help keep the warmth in…I wanted to look out my windows and see the stars! I used my hand warmers to help keep warm, but I left my gloves in the front seat of my car, so I couldn’t put the hand warmers in my gloves because I didn’t want to get out of my nest😩. So after holding the hand warmers until my hands were warm, I placed them in my beanie hat on my head by my ears. I woke up warm and one of the hand warmers moved between my beanie hat and forehead, so I have a nice red mark on my forehead from the heat pack left there for hours🤣. It was also incredibly quiet at Zion so I could literally hear the leaves falling on my car from a tree I parked under and that kept waking me up (no joke). I also think it’s because I’ve acclimated to the hustle and bustle noise of truck stops and Cracker Barrel’s, too.

Anyway, I woke up early, and the moment I hopped out of my car, I felt sore EVERYWHERE from that TRX class I did. Omg. I somehow still managed to want to hike the Watchman Trail, which is labeled as moderately strenuous.

I asked a woman where the trailhead was because I was having difficulty finding it. She helped me navigate and let me know she saw sheep up there yesterday. I was so excited to see more wildlife.

I found the trailhead and began hiking. The first 1/4 mile was fine—some ups and downs, but then it was only uphill. I kept thinking these sheep better be cute as fuck, especially as every winding turn only revealed MORE uphill climbing. I made it to the top without seeing any sheep but I was happy I made it all the way. On the way back down, a woman kept looking up the mountain side and I asked if she saw anything. She said, “yeah! I saw some mountain goats and thought I could get a better view of them over here.” I WAS SO EXCITED TO HEAR THERE WAS WILDLIFE. A couple passing by overheard and said, “they aren’t mountain goats, they are ‘bighorn sheep.’”

THIS WHOLE TIME I WAS LOOKING FOR CUTE FLUFFY SHEEP LIKE THIS:

But what the ‘bighorn sheep’ really look like is this:

😑😑😑😑😑😑. Next time, I think I’ll Google wildlife in the area so I have a better idea what to look for.

Here are some shots from the Watchman Trail:

I was on a time crunch so I could visit Lake Powell & the Grand Canyon so I jogged my way down making up some time.

On my way to Lake Powell, I got to drive through the Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel!! It was sooooooo cool (could not stop and take pics tho). It was a little more than a mile driving through a tunnel that had window coves for you to lookout and see the beautifully colored and textured mountainous rock (Google it).

I drove for a couple hours and got to Lake Powell and took Randi (my beloved SUV) off-roading in the sand, which was fun😎

I made my way to the Grand Canyon all to find out the East Entrance was closed 😑. There was no way I could make it to the South Entrance in time before sunset, so I decided to take my time driving to Flagstaff. Along Route 89, there are a bunch of Native Indian shops with handmade jewelry and art pieces.

I saw a sign for Sunset Crater Volcano National Park, and that sounded like a pretty gnarly park, so I went.

Afterward, I headed to Flagstaff, found where I was going to sleep and ventured into downtown Flagstaff — it is a CUTE town!! I only captured this photo, but there was much more charm to this town for sure! Lots of artsy shops, breweries, restaurants and coffee shops. I may explore the town a bit tomorrow unless I decide to head east.

Hopefully tomorrow I will see the glorious Grand Canyon! Thanks for reading!

P.S. if you have recommendations for the Grand Canyon (or nearby parks etc), and/or have questions about solo car camping, send me a message or leave a comment💙💙

Woohoo!! Double digits…10 days! I left Saint George today after getting some work done at a cafe and headed to Zion.

On the way, I saw a cute gemstone store and HAD to stop.

Gemstones are soooo gorgeous. We really are lucky to live on a planet that produces such beauty.

Next, I got to Zion. At the campground gate, they asked for my reservation and found my name but it didn’t match where my spot was. This made me a tad nervous because the other day I called confirming my spot all to realize I booked a “walk-to” spot which meant I would have to leave my car and take my camping gear, walk probably a good distance, and set up a tent I did not have 😅. Luckily, when I called a couple days prior, they were able to move me to a place where I could camp in my car. Ergo, here I am sitting at the campsite gate thinking my site change didn’t go through and I’d arrived to Zion with no place to stay, but the park ranger at the gate shrugged her shoulders and said, “have fun!” – And luckily, no one was at my site, so it all worked out! 😁

I immediately decided with the time I had before sun set, I could hike two different trails. I did the River Walk and the Emerald Pool. Here are some pics from the River Walk:

After some selfies with my deer buddy, I hit up the Emerald Pool.

By the time I got to the shuttle station, it was dark. The shuttle dropped me off at the visitor center and I immediately got discombobulated and couldn’t find the direction to my camp site. I immediately thought ‘is THIS how that thirty-something year old woman got lost for 12 days in Zion?!’

Luckily, I waved some women down who helped point me in the right direction 😬. Once I got back to my site, I got cell service, saw this pic of Marlowe come through a text

and then called my hubby while looking up at the stars. It is so beautiful out here. I can see the Milky Way faintly. And I saw a shooting star 💫.

I’m going to hike another trail tomorrow morning then *probably* hit up the Grand Canyon!

I have a pretty unrelenting headache so unfortunately, I’m going to keep this entry brief. I spent the day in Saint George and found an amazing coffee joint to get some work done. I went to a place called FeelLove Coffee and it was gorgeous inside.

It was connected to a yoga/work out studio called Be Hot Yoga and when I went to the bathroom, I discovered it was super clean with lots of toiletries available and several showers! I asked if I could pay them to use their showers. They told me I could shower no problem and that I didn’t need to pay them at all. In fact, they offered me a FREE workout class! I took them up on the offer and did a TRX workout in my two piece workout outfit! Y’all, I have always wanted to wear a two piece matching crop top workout outfit and I DID IT. It was liberating and I felt cute AF.

That TRX class was no joke. They cranked on the heater and I felt myself getting sweaty before class started🥵. Afterward, I treated myself to a very long shower.

Next, I went to the Red Hills Desert Gardens, climbed around some, got some photos of chipmunk-looking animals and hit up the botanical garden. Oh, and I also tried this “BLK Water” and it tasted just like water, surprisingly.

Afterward, I was getting hungry so I hit up a Korean restaurant called Taste of Seoul and got kimchi rice and mandu dumplings and headed to a park to eat outside.

Today was pretty uneventful and I plan to head to Zion tomorrow morning. Also, here’s a pic of my pupper, Marlowe, so you can tell me how cute she is 🥰.

Hey y’all! I’ve officially been solo traveling for a week now. Last night was definitely the coldest it’s been. It got down to 20° last night so I layered up, put my beanie on along with my fuzzy socks but I was still chilly. I reached over and grabbed my Frannie blanket and after some time, got to sleep.

I actually woke up hot at some point! So I have Frannie to thank for keeping me safe and warm 🐶.

I woke up around 6:50am and got to see the sun rise. I also didn’t fall on my ass from black ice this morning😄.

I found a highly rated coffee place so I grabbed a latte there and headed down to Bryce Canyon State Park.

On my way down, I saw signs for ‘YOUNG LIVING FAMILY FARM’— you’ve got to be shitting me. Another MLM headquarters in Utah?? I suppose, with the fact that there are hundreds of MLMs , that some of them would end up in Utah🤷‍♀️.

There were numerous signs pointing directions to visit this aMaZiNg farm, so of course I took a detour to see what it was all about.

I posted a video of it on my insta and Facebook stories, but let me tell you…The farm sucked. Like, you know when you drive around in the country and see farms and go, “oh how cute!! I’d love to own a little farm house like that!” But then you think about how many hours it would take to cut that lawn, and how the air would smell like shit most of the time, and how you’d have spotty WiFi and cell service and you know you can’t live without Netflix.

Yeah, this farm was nothing to admire and looked like a ragged compound. Here are some pics.

Maybe all the money went to fighting law suits?

I then stopped into The Creamery for lunch and got an egg and cheddar ciabatta sandwich and they were the fluffiest eggs I’ve ever had. They also had an ice cream parlor that I was tempted by, but passed on.

I drove for about another hour and a half and finally arrived at Bryce Canyon, which is one of the Mighty Five in Utah. It was gorgeous!!! I have lots of pics, but here are a few:

After checking out Bryce, I took a super scenic way to Saint George: Route 14. Highly recommend!! Once I got into Saint George, I had to find a place for dinner. I saw a restaurant on Google that looked good called Cliffside Restaurant. I made my way there and it had me go up this almost private-like driveway where large houses resided on cliffs overlooking Saint George. I definitely thought I’d look underdressed in my hiking gear, so I put on cute sandals and swapped my top to look more cute-casual. Let’s just say it was the nicest I’ve looked this entire trip🤣.

I walked in to see the walls were replaced by big bay windows to over look this city and I immediately though thank God you changed Erika🤣🤣. It was about 5:30pm so I was hoping I could sneak in as an early reservation. They couldn’t take me until 8:30pm, so I decided to just order take out. It was safer that way anyway. So what did I do? I had a nice damn date with myself WITH gorgeous views. I drove behind the restaurant where the employees park, turned on some jazz (or something like that) and had my glazed salmon. Yum!!

The meal was on point and I headed back to good ol’ Cracker Barrel, but something caught my eye…

I FOUND K MART!!!

I pulled into the parking lot to see this amazing gem…and I’ll be damned…look who took it over:

FREAKING. SPIRIT. HALLOWEEN. 🤣🤣

Tomorrow I will either explore Saint George or Zion so please give me any recommendations you might have! Also, if you have questions about solo car camping & traveling, let me know and I’ll answer them in my blog. As always, thanks for coming along the journey with me!

I woke up this morning and it was FRIGID. I was warm under the down blanket, but it got down to about 21 degrees last night and I found frost in my car this morning.

As usual, I grabbed my toiletries to head in to Cracker Barrel. I started walking to the door and WHOOSH I ATE IT. I fell on black ice. No one was around, but two video cameras were pointing at me and I only hope someone at Cracker Barrel can watch my magnificent, graceful fall on replay.

I decided to head north and ended up in Layton that connected to Antelope State Park. It was a beautiful drive and I saw Bison!

I then headed to the Bonneville Salt Flats. Basically, I went from a place with lots of people and pretty wildlife to the dreaded, boring Route 80. It was a boring drive and I had to pee pretty badly, so I stopped at one of the only rest stops (there are very few services between Salt Lake and the Bonneville Flats) only to find it was closed for maintenance. I looked over and saw like 12 port-a-potties and decided I would hold it. I detest port-a-potties. I also detest automatic flushing toilets…I have a weird thing with toilets. There was this cool sign I saw when I started leaving:

If I had time (or if it were earlier in the year, I totally would have looked around for scorpions and snakes.

When I was nearing the Salt Flats, I began wondering if it was worth trekking out 1.5 hours. Some locals (and my dad) recommended checking out The Great Saltair. I asked what the difference was and some locals said The Great Saltair was closer but the salt was more gray whereas the Bonneville Salt Flats were more white. I decided, based on time, that I could go to the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Along the way there, there were some hilarious “art pieces” right along the highway to make the route more fun. For example, someone strapped a fake laughing skeleton with a cowboy hat to a plastic chair sitting and tied a fishing rod to its hands to make it look like it was fishing.

I saw lots of glass bottles made into initials or words, and sadly a handful of crosses to mark people dying there (at least that’s what I could surmise from the crosses and flower posts)

The Bonneville Salt Flats were cool! Definitely a great photoshoot spot and fun to drive on!

The sun began setting so I wanted to get back ASAP. I’ve seen more than a dozen decapitated deer along the highway and I’m terrified I’m going to hit one at nighttime 😓.

I had to stop and get gas and I accidentally hopped on the highway the wrong way going west instead of back east. I was so mad. I had to go 12 miles to the next exit to turn around so it added ~25 min additional to my drive time😡.

Provo, Utah

I got into Provo just fine and got some Pho for dinner. A perfect meal for this chilly day.

After dinner, I walked around historic downtown Provo. Many of the shops had their own charm.

But then I saw this GD sign.

Y’all know how much I despise MLMs. They are super predatory. Seriously, Google “NuSkin MLM Reddit”

I am staying the night in Provo and plan to hit up one of the Mighty 5 (Bryce Canyon) tomorrow and Saint George tomorrow night. Thanks for reading and joining along my journey!
