After leaving the Grand Canyon I headed down to Phoenix to see the soon-to-be bride and groom. Northern Arizona continued to surprise me as it reminded me of the central Oregon high desert. A few times on the scenic routes I had seen dogs wandering in the highways. In fact, in Zion I almost hit a deer. Finally, on the drive from Phoenix back to San Diego I saw a dead dog, which was a terrible sight to see. On Thursday we went to a Giants-A's spring training game at Scottsdale Stadium. I had never been to a spring training game before but I really loved it. Although none of the better players were playing, the game seemed much more pure. It was less about flashy lights and fancy stadiums and more about the game. Although my beloved Giants (from my childhood) lost, I had a great time. On Friday we got to play best-ball foursomes at Longbow, which was an absolute blast. Although my team didn't win, I still had a great time.
The wedding itself was amazing and I am glad I got to see and meet so many people. As the first half of my trip was a solo journey, the second half was filled with friends. The final trip numbers were 1440 miles covered in 4 states (and 1 sovereign nation), over a period of 24 hours of driving. My car now needs a bath and an air freshener.
