The "Spirit Quest" to San Francisco

As part of my move to San Francisco, Kelly and I are driving my car from Austin back to California this weekend. Over brunch with some friends, we decided this trip was actually a spirit quest. Surprisingly, no alcohol was involved in this decision.

We started the trip today, and I’m writing this post from our hotel room in Lubbock after 7 hours of driving. Today’s trip included many harrowing adventures — massive windmills, trippy dream catchers, and (of course) wrong turns — but we got some great pictures too. So far, this one is our favorite:

That little preview hardly does the picture justice, so you may want to find a larger version here.

We’ll be tweeting our entire trip on the hashtag #spiritquest, including checkins along the way to mark our progress, so feel free to follow along there!
