Day 8, part 4: (corral burning)
While on the Road, we saw a huge fire burning in a field. We figured that it might have been lightning induced, so we veered off the highway to see if there was any way we could help. Instead, we met Zane, who looked at us with kind eyes and admitted that all that he was doing was burning down the old corral that used to stand where the new one was. He looked at our GPS like it was alien technology, and referred to himself in solely the plural tense (we think it may have been because of the dogs with him). At our explanation of our source destination (I have no idea why I’m using such lofty terminology), he said: “Holy shit! You guys are a long way from home!”
And that’s when we knew we’d hit the west.
