I play for the women’s soccer team here at SUU. And although I love to win games, take out players on the other team and score goals, etc… traveling is my favorite part about being on this team. Ever since I moved out to Utah, from Indiana, I’ve been in love with the landscapes. Just the other week we had a game in Arizona. So we loaded up the vans and headed out! An hour into the trip I took a look around and found that I was the only one who wasn’t totally passed out in my van. Although I was tired, I had to keep myself from falling asleep because I have discovered something about road trips in the West. Mountains never look the same. It doesn’t matter how many times you travel from Cedar City to St. George. I swear that the trip always looks different every time you drive it. The sun always sets or rises just a bit differently on those mountaintops. So, as we were making our drive through the southern part of Utah I found myself gazing out the window the whole time, examining each detailed rock formation and all the different pigments of color in every mountain. No music, no talking… just the sound of our car cutting through the wind and rubber wheels hitting cement.
