On the Greyhound bus on the way to Vegas, I was checking the website and Facebook to get more info on where I needed to go. I found out how super far away it was, and luckily I was not the only one figuring out travel plans semi-last minute. A bunch of people were talking about travel from Vegas, so I commented on a bunch of posts asking to carpool.
Sure enough, I actually had three different people call or text to offer me rides in the morning! How incredibly sweet, right? I rode out there with George and Brenda. They were unbelievably cool and super fun, which made the long drive quite enjoyable.
I ended up walking the race with Penny and Jim. They were also crazy fun, and Penny was absolutely hilarious. The race itself was pretty quiet.
