day 4

I just tried to mooch off an internet connection we picked up on US 50 named ‘Jesus is Lord’... unfortunately none of passwords we tried (Genesis... Psalms... etc) worked. I wouldn’t even be looking for wi-fi connections if it wasn’t for one that we picked up in Carson and held onto - while driving 55 miles an hour - for at least 10 minutes. I would have posted something I wrote for yesterday night, but Blogger is down for maintenance.

From here on - it’s nothing but dry-dead grass and roads that go on in a perfect line for as long as the eye can see... which out here, is a very, very long ways.

I’m a bit worried for Amanda - yesterday, as I mentioned, she stopped at the Urgent Care in Davis, California, to get something for her bladder infection - the doctors had told her that if she started to suffer from headaches, lower back pains or nausea, that she could have a kidney infection, and would need to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Now, Amanda’s lower back is usually soar at any given time - but she can’t tell if it’s a different pain (that she should be concerned about) or if she is freaking herself out subconsciously. Not to mention that we are in the middle of nothing - I’m not even sure how far away the closest hospital would be. Hopefully her back pains go away and her antibiotics do the trick.

It’s 6:20pm as I’m typing this - the sun is scheduled to set for Walker Lake (north of Hawthorne, Nevada) at 8:17... the only things we have on our shooting-list is: film us eating / hanging out at under a train-tracks bridge near the Lahontan Reservoir (which we are about 4 miles west of right now), then we’ll continue to Walker Lake (another 50 miles away), to catch a sun set, and lastly, we’ll drive into Hawthorne to sleep at Scotty’s RV Park.

Then tomorrow - will be our last day of filming.
