today's entry brought to you by ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

THIS will be the last CA entry and instead of being :( about it, i truly am:

 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

why? because i sat down with the husband last night (you know, basically 48 hours before we leave) to map things out for the weirdest part of the trip: CA to North Rim and North Rim to the only available tesla supercharger within like...325 miles. 

the tesla is a long range model, so i get 300 miles avg per charge. THAT IS A 25 MILE DEFICIT thank you very much. look at me mathing. 

the nearest charger at all to the grand canyon lodge is a bit over 80 miles one way. so half of my charge would go to a round trip top up. but it's not a supercharger — it's basically two duracell batteries hooked up to a duct taped generator. read: gonna take a long time to charge up. 

i had to think things through and math some more and get my results peer reviewed by the husband. i tried to engage the child in the peer review process, but all she did was nod and say she wanted a jelly donut on the trip AND, demanding little cave goblin that she is, chips and dip for the grand canyon. 

girl, boo.
