[Music]
good morning
it's five knobs is it yeah it's 5 30 in
the morning
i was like wait it feels so light out
though like the sun rises at
5 20 here and uh it's already getting
kind of bright
um but yeah i am headed to saguaro
national park
on the west side this morning and check
out that a little bit before i head on
to california
i'm probably not going to be able to do
much probably like yesterday when i went
to
the east part doing a loop type of thing
and then uh there's one little discovery
trail
it is very cold this morning it's 54
degrees
i wasn't expecting it to be this cold
but it will get warmer later so
i'll keep my shorts on
[Music]
there's these nice pull outs
and you can go off into a little trail
and explore a little bit more
this would be a nice little walk to do i
guess there's like
[Applause]
a little trail you could take here
that mountain up there has a whole bunch
of uh saguaros
they're way up there and there's a whole
bunch of them
some pretty flowers growing on there
i'm not actually in saguaro national
park yet but
as you make your way up there uh there
are these nice
pull outs or there's these pull outs
with some nice views of
the mountains in the distance
[Music]
we are at saguaro national park now and
i
just wanted to take a picture by the
sign that was quite a task because i was
trying to take it with kuma
um i use a tripod and it's windy so i
have to like make sure
the camera doesn't fall that was kind of
scary but i think i did it just make
sure your pets don't wander off
um not that she wandered off much but
she did get a little needle in her
little cactus
needle so i feel really bad about that
but i did get it out but i just oh
gosh it was in there but she's okay so
yeah i'm gonna go check
this out just a tad
and see what they have
desert discovery oh i think this is
where
i could take this little nature trail
here because i think it's paved
yes okay we'll do this
do this and then we'll head out
[Music]
kuma got freaked out a little bit
because uh
she stepped on one of those
one of those spiky things are sharp um i
don't know what they're called
they look like little balls and they
have spikes on them and sometimes they
attach to your clothes
um they're very prickly so they hurt
uh if you step on them and kuma
accidentally stepped on one
so after that she was out of there she
was like nope not doing this no more
and totally i totally get it yeah that
hurts so
but i was able to easily get it off of
her and
i think she's fine now she's just over
it so there's a few other things to do
here at saguaro national park obviously
um but since i have my dog with me i was
just very limited on things i could do
but it was still nice to see
[Music]
these beautiful cacti and to stop by
a national park where this is the only
place where you can see the saguaro
cactus so that was pretty cool
[Music]
today is the final day of driving on
this road trip
so i should be in california around 3
30 and the gps says 2 30 but i always
give at an hour
because of all my breaks uh so
yeah can't believe this is the last leg
of the trip
it's actually been really nice i've
loved my entire drive i'm gonna say my
favorite part so far besides you know i
haven't been to california yet but
western texas was really great i think i
really liked western texas because
i wasn't expecting the topography there
i wasn't expecting to see any hills or
you know mountains
i was just expecting all flat but it was
actually quite pretty
and very beautiful i also love that i
could go 80 miles per hour
and there's hardly any cars on the road
when i have the road to myself like that
i think that's the best part about road
tripping
i don't like going through big cities i
hate it actually
i'd much rather go through little towns
or the country area kuma's been a champ
this entire ride she was so good she
loves
all the stops that we've been going to
and she likes checking out new hotel
rooms
kind of like me i love checking out new
hotel rooms
so yeah only five and a half more hours
on this drive then we'll see candy
and kuma's cousin zoey
[Music]
in about uh i don't know five more miles
i will be in california
exit one has some food and gas all
vehicles must stop
half the live inspection
it's like so confusing what is that
i don't get i don't understand what
those inspection stations are for
oh here it is welcome to california yay
entering pacific time
[Music]
i just stopped at exit 232 uh
to use the bathroom because i saw a sign
that said that
there wouldn't be uh any gas or food
exits for the next 60 miles so i was
like uh
that's making me a little bit nervous so
i decided to use the bathroom
i'll probably get gas at my next stop
um i was gonna get some gas here i'm
only a quarter tank though so i didn't
really need it
i did note though that the price was
three dollars and nine cents per gallon
so i'm wondering if they you know raise
the price here
because the next gas station exit isn't
for a while
so they could probably raise the price a
little bit
so yeah curious to see what the gas
price is um
once i enter an area with more gas
stations but yeah gas prices have
definitely
gone up like the further you go west to
the more the gas prices go
up like i think i started at like a
dollar 69
per gallon and then it went up to like
two dollars and i remember when i went
like
250 just all of a sudden jumped up to uh
three dollars
[Music]
i stopped by my last gas station uh
which was exit
146 and it was
2.69 per gallon so yeah it was
way cheaper than that one gas station uh
earlier and then i took puma out for the
last time
again there's no grass in the area
because it's like the desert anytime we
enter a desert area it's just all
dirt or rocks which i feel bad for her
because i know she's looking for the
grass
so yeah i'm just going to concentrate on
the rest of this drive because
california can get a little bit crazy
[Music]
so
[Music]
right here i can't believe it i could
not believe
it wow all
you right where to go you do
okay
i think that's your cousin
[Applause]
[Music]
i love your haircut so much it looks so
nice on him
yes yes hi cool
oh i missed you cooper
[Music]
you
