Aliens?!

So last Christmas break, my brother was still living in Colorado and one of my presents was a plane ticket to go see him. He had decided that we were just going to travel to neighboring states for a week and see as much as we could and enjoy ourselves. So we set out the morning after I landed and decided to drive down through Colorado and look at the scenery and some pretty sweet places my brother was just dying for me to see. We share a lot of the same interests, maybe because when we were growing up, if he thought something was cool, so did I! Once we got down into New Mexico, we decided that the part we had to go through in order to get to Arizona was not the best place to be so we did our best to piddle around and make the rest of the drive that night. Now granted our travel patterns were a little weird so we went back up to the top of New Mexico just to say we had stood at the four corners! There was literally a stone in the ground that said four corners and named the states. WOW! Haha. But we had a good time making fun of some of the things we saw! Next we randomly decided we wanted to see the Grand Canyon and what better time to see it than the time we had?! So on the way to Flagstaff, which is where we were planning on spending the night, we saw a sign for the place were that huge meteor had struck the earth and made a mile wide hole in the ground. Now it was pitch black outside, but for some retarded reason, we thought we might still be able to see the hole in the moonlight which sounds pretty cool in theory. Well once we got off the exit, we realized there was no one around for miles, until this random car sitting on the side of the road turns on its headlights and starts to follow us as soon as we pass it. I started to get a little freaked out because I had only seen that stuff happen in movies! The we started to see random cows standing along the sides of the roads but no farms or fences, just chillin out. Well I started asking my brother is this was such a good idea and he kept sayin don’t worry, we’ll be fine. Next thing I know, steam is coming up in the cab of the truck! BAD! Well something had failed in the engine, and made it to where we had NO heat in the truck at all. It is negative 5 outside. And we get to the damn gate and its closed! I swore up and down aliens were going to beam down and get us because the radio just stopped working too! So we had to leave and get to a truck stop so my brother could take a look at his truck. Oh and by the way, Flagstaff, Arizona did not have to parts to fix the truck! So once we left there we went to the Grand Canyon, and couldn’t even see the Canyon because it was snowing so hard…it was sooo weird! Anyway, we then headed back through Utah to get to his house. The drive through Utah was a 2 day trip with no heat in negative 10 degree weather the whole time and no defrost! The coldest I saw ht gauge get was negative 16 and there was about an hour of my life that I thought I was going to freeze to death! And I know it may sound like the trip was horrible, but it was one of the most amazing trips I have ever been on! We were constantly cracking up at our shitty luck and just being able to see all of that country land was the best thing!! I wouldn’t trade it for the world!!!
