Facebook tells me that four years ago I was on the road trip that changed the course of my life. Four years ago I had time to travel and explore. Four years ago was the most freeing month of my life. Seems like yesterday I was waking up on top of the Grand Canyon, my umbrella folding inside out from the wind and rain. Seems like yesterday I was driving through the hills and valleys outside of Carlsbad Caverns. Seems like just yesterday that I was seeing Route 1 for the first time and driving by the coastline. Seems like just yesterday that I was making the longest drive of my life across Montana, with not a bar of cell service in sight until I hit North Dakota 14 hours later at 6am. All seems like just yesterday.

Four years ago, huh? Right.
