We drove 14 hours overnight for 45 minutes in Yosemite.
This isn’t the first time we’ve driven through the night together; it certainly won’t be the last. Back then, his mom’s minivan served as conveyance. Anywhere within a high schooler’s gas budget was liable to become a destination. One glance and we’d be out the door.
I can’t say where all the years since went, but I remember them by the moments of brilliance we snatched out of thin air. These days the destination could be anywhere in the country, no permission required. For better and for worse, there’s nothing left to stop two fools from Ohio with eyes bigger than their stomachs.But this year, finally, I’m starting to lose my appetite.
Three weeks ago I took my friend Kelly for a drive in an Aston Martin I didn’t own. Her and her boyfriend, Sean, became trusted friends in record time, fellow Ohioans chasing something bigger out here in California.I told her I was jealous, in some way, of the people who stayed back in Ohio. They can discover peace and war and triumph and pain in a place that they understand, a place that understands them.It’s all I can think about as we roll through the gates of Yosemite National Park.
If our many drives together represent some fundamental question, the only answers we’ve found are in moments like these, watching dawn creep over El Capitan. To feel that once more, we’ll drive anywhere, any time. One of us will look at the other, mischief in mind, and in minutes, hours, or days we’ll be heading out the door. Back then it was the only thing we wanted. Today it’s the only thing we know how to do.
