Myself and Mark checked out of the hotel and walked to the car rental firm (avis) to pick up our car, a Chevy Impala which was big, powerful and fast although driving it felt like driving a boat because of the suspension. We filled the car up with stuff and headed for the mountains.
This is where I took our only wrong turn. I was driving and Mark was navigating. He looked down to check the map and when he looked up we were here… not on the highway.
We got into the house late, about 2300 as far as I remember and immediately started to chill out and have a few beers. It was about 6 hours in total in the Chevy.
