Road Trip: Day 1

I went on a road trip this week with a friend to look at colleges. I left from Colorado towards Utah on Saturday (a week ago). Not much happened the first day. One thing that happened was that the Colorado River was flooding and at a few points on the highway the road going the other way was underwater. That made some huge rapids right by the side of the rode. After that the next thing that happened was several hours down the road. We stopped at a bridge somewhere near Moab, Utah called the Dewey Bridge. We stopped because a sign said it was something historical. When we got to it there was nothing there. The suspension wires were all hanging down not holding anything up. I wondered what happened to it so I read the sign. It didn't mention anything about the bridge collapsing, so I figured that the river knocked it down that day, because it was going over the Colorado River. Later we made it into Moab, and everything was beautiful there, so we went to our hotel, which was the least expensive one there and it cost more than twice as much as anywhere else that we stayed. After that we tried to find a place to eat dinner. One place called The Blue Pig looked nice until we saw seven cop cars parked outside. So I thought, "Oh, now I get the restaurant's name: it's blue because they're blues, and it's pig because they're pigs. I they only served donuts, then they would have every police stereotype taken care of." So we ate somewhere else. We went back to the hotel, and I wanted to play some guitar before going to sleep, but when I was tuning it, the high E string broke, and I didn't bring any spares so I was stuck with only five strings. Finally I did last weeks blog and we went to sleep after a long day of driving.
