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.
