Halloween tricks and treats made for a fascinating time yesterday however it was now time to get on with responsibility &#8230; an incredible move to be achieved within a couple of days. A long journey awaited them with weighted down vehicles pushing safety limits, but due to lack of resources and funding &#8230; a required step. As they rustled together their provisions and gear, they headed into their vehicles and proceeded to leave. Farewells to the family and a hot journey ahead. Temperatures reaching 95 degrees fahrenheit, they still had mountains and passes in which to cross. Lady Etain&#8217;s cell phone wasn&#8217;t working so they had to stay in sight of each other continuously otherwise they could easily lose one another in L.A. traffic. From the 2 to I-5, they criss-crossed the lanes and followed each other bumper to bumper, stopping outside of Knott&#8217;s Scary Farm for a gas stop at the Am\/Pm. After gas up, they proceeded across the desert north, glancing at Mordor&#8217;s landscape of drought-ridden dust bowls with aquaducts empty and more signs of the drought&#8217;s impact on what was once prosperous fruit orchards and farms. Lanes of traffic were continuously full with minimal spacing between cars on both sides, demonstrating Mordor&#8217;s over-population using up all the resources. The adventurers were content they would no longer contribute to the problem that is &#8220;California&#8221;. They pitstopped at Denny&#8217;s for lunch and Lumberjack&#8217;s Cafe for dinner just south of Redding. Too tired and fatiqued, they pulled over at a rest area and rearranged the overcrowded cars so they could uncomfortably sleep for 4 hours together in the same vehicle. Crunched and squashed, recovery at minimum they awoke at 4 am to continue the journey. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday 1 November 2015Los Angeles to Redding The adventurers got off to a late start as they headed home to the Pacific Northwest escaping Mordor.
