I'm trying to get just over 2 weeks off (saved up my vacation time) and I'm planning on a trip up and down the West Coast.
I live right around Los Angeles. So I'm actually gonna try to hit up some places I've always wanted to go, and maybe try to visit a few places Chris went, since his story has been the enlightenment I've needed!
I actually live abut 2 1/2 hours west from Salton City, and The Slabs, but have not made the trek yet. I'm thinking of adding those on, possibly.
I think, since most of my 20's were taken up with a relationship that turned toxic towards the end, I needed something. I was very near my breaking point numerous times when I found the movie, and looked more into the story. Then realized what I was missing.
In my mind, I want to do what Chris did. But, I also have that lingering thought of "what if I get tired of it, what have I to come back to, or, live on with?" it's strange. Baby steps as they say. For now, hiking, camping, and road trips.
The Vancouver area and going up the Pacific coast sounds like a nice trip Magic Don. Bring some good music for your trip. And have a great time. Good luck. Let us know how it all goes.
