I totally didn't want to get out of bed and go to work today. My mind was already set on my journey. Work was dragging but I got a few things done and wrapped up my main project I have been working on. It felt good to have everything done but now was the waiting game until I could leave work. This time did give me a chance to double check my bills and ensure they were all paid or on auto pay before I left, because I knew I wouldn't want to deal with that when/if I did have service. I sent a few co-workers a link on how to track me and set my out of office. I was so excited when it was time to escape! I got gas in the car and headed home. There were a few things I wanted to finish doing before I headed out. I had to put the dishes away, make sure the house was clean, and take one last long shower to wash my hair and shave! As I'm cleaning up I get a text wishing me luck and telling me that there is a fire and the I-15 is closed. When I look it up it looks really bad and google maps is telling me to take the I-5 instead which is really out of the way. I still had a bit to do so I was hoping there would be a solution or a different detour before I left. Once I'm almost ready I look at the maps again and it's saying to take 15 again and it will detour me. Ok great! So, I head up and make really good time until... Nope Google maps is wrong!!! The detour that is listed is closed as well. I have to go west on the 210 and take some other roads, a mountain road and FINALLY get to Ridgecrest at 11:30pm. About 5 1/2 hours. I was really struggling on the last hour of the drive. I was very happy to have a place to stay and fell asleep quickly.
