1st gens to Sedona 2023!!!

Don’t let your companies shitty person power/schedule problems make you feel guilty.

 

I already threw away the previous vacation request and filled out a new one.

 

New plan: drive straight to Las Cruces on Wednesday. Hit up the dispensary. Check in at a hotel. Grab a stiff drink or two at the bar. Pass out. Take my time to check out Thursday morning. Head to Sedona.

 

So will you be taking the 10 if your hitting LC?

 

Sí señor

 

You’ll be driving thru my valley on your way to Sedona then! Unless you jump up to the 40

 

Looks like I can either stay on 10, or turn onto 180 in NM, or 70 in NM
Anything worth seeing in Phoenix?

 

Just another cess pool

 

OK I'll skip it then. I want to make some worthwhile stops if you can think of anywhere I gotta see while I'm out west.

 

You’ll need to listen to the zeppelin album, how the west was won, in it’s entirety. But I’ll look for spots worthwhile in that area if I’m familiar

 

Or maybe I should say screw Las Cuces and stay the night in Roswell!

 

This is the best, if you can make it happen. I don't want you dying in the way, AND getting in Thursday, even late at night, puke be waaay better for feeling like you don't miss out.

 

Don't get probed 'til you get to camp. That'd be wrong.

 

Beam me up, Sunny.

 

I'll probably leave here Thursday morning and get there around 4 or 5.

 

How bad are the catalytic converter thefts out there? We'll be parking in downtown Flagstaff for 3 nights.


Convince me to buy a cat guard before driving out even though I don't want to spend the monies...

 

A good cat plate could double as a skid plate on the trails....

 

Do you like "street entertainment?"

Flagstaff isn't really a big city like Phoenix or LA. I honestly don't know if cat thieves are an epidemic there, but I'd feel safer in Flag than I would in a big city. It is smack dab in the middle of the 40 though which could draw traveling criminals.

Just get the damn cat plates. Peace of mind.

 

Ain't this the truth... yeesh.

 

I've got some skid row bolt on cat guards still in the box. You just gotta buy their transmission skid plate for em to bolt onto... if anyone's interested I'll bring em to Sedona.

 

I think there’s a higher chance of someone trying to steal granola and soy milk.

 

Where else can you find the pollution of LA, the prostitution of Vegas, and more elderly people than Palm Desert?

 

why do you say all that like it's a bad thing?

 

Some people move all the way from Illinois for it.

 

Have you been to Illinois? It's terrible. No wonder everyone moves here.

 

Yep, both parts. I get it - if you don’t end up in one of the Amish towns.

 

Nothing like a swift breeze down Michigan Avenue on a December day to rip your soul out.

Gotta say the JD headquarters in Moline was a huge letdown for me. Was expecting to see tractors and skid steers line up for miles.. there was maybe 4

 

So yall have a migrating Midwestern population?
We have a migrating Californian population lol

 

We have both lol. But I'm part of the problem - I moved here from the corn fields of northing IL about 14 years ago...
