Last week I shared my road trip tips for safely arriving at your final destination. This week I’d like to talk about road trip fears that may lead to an altogether different final destination.
If that was too subtle, I’m talking about death.
Which is ironic considering the road trip tips post was titled Death in the Middle of Nowhere. I had to dig down deep into the scary middle of my brain, just to come up with a title for this post that conveyed all of the thoughts it incorporates. I hope I did it justice, but I was a little busy looking for dinosaurs lurking behind desert fauna.
I packed 2 pounds of chocolate covered gummy bears to drive 35 miles down the road.
If the cactus is that big, a T-Rex could be hiding behind it, waiting for dessert. I bet we taste like chocolate to dinosaurs.
It is a glorified bucket. I’m horrified just thinking about it.
Spider football parties where screaming humans are the entertainment.
I found the perfect cheeseburger. It is 6,000 miles away and I have to cross the Pacific Ocean to get to it. My parents send photos when they eat it.
Now you all know why I am such an evil genius – it’s in the DNA.
Looking for more road trip fun? I did a series of ways to die while traveling in the state of WA. Read about it here.

For awhile the perfect burger was 3 hours drive away but now I’ve found a new one. The moral is you just have to keep seeking out a better one…

The pain of finding the perfect burger only to find that it is half way around the world. Life just is not fair #GlobalBlogging

To be fair I think some of these are totally legitimate fears… although I’m pretty sure there won’t be a T-Rex hiding in the desert, haha! #GlobalBlogging

They found a lot of fossils in the desert, so I’m a little bit hesitant!

I would rather pack my own bucket than use a porta potty, at least I know what has touched that seat!
