Adventures in Murrieta

Chris and I were hanging out the other day and decided to go to the gas station for some slushy goodness. After we bought our tasty treats we left the station and from my car, we saw the top of a smoke cloud. Chris and I really had nothing to do for the rest of the day so we figured we'd go find it!
But when I pulled out into the road, we noticed that the fire was on the opposite side of the mountain. We were losing hope because we thought the only way to the other side was to drive around the mountain by taking the 215.
While we were talking about it, we remembered that there were several houses upon the hilltops, so logically, there must be roads that lead you through the mountains.
So we set off on our adventure.
It took us a decent amount of time to get up there, but the drive was great.
We saw a whole new side of Murrieta.
Beautiful houses, trees, fruits, people, trampolines, and air...
We'd discovered a whole new world.
And as you can see from the picture below, we found our fire!



I'm not sure how close I was planning on getting to it, but we only stopped and turned around once we drove through a multitude of cops and one media man.
We turned around and began to head home.

As we were heading up to our fire,
we noticed a few other places that would be nice to stop on the way.
The roads were windy and I was driving to fast, so I rolled my car.



Just Kidding!
But one of our stops led us to a car that had been rolled. I really felt like solving a mystery,
but the day did not seem to provide the rest of my dreams.



We also figured we'd get in some rock climbing and we scaled about a 20 foot wall!
Intense right?
Don't judge.



So after we had our fill, we got back into my car and headed back.
We also picked some lemons while I was still driving, and they smelled great.
But there were several ants on them....




I guess this pictures just to show that my car is still good...
