Change of plans →← Chemical Spill?

It’s been a long week, and I think I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t pretend something’s not wrong anymore. But when I woke up this morning, I decided that I need to do something.

I mean, there’s no question that I want to go back… and it’s not even really a money thing, I guess. (I now think that was an excuse I was using to tell myself I was just overreacting.) But as far as that goes, I just wanted to say that I definitely appreciate the amazing kindness from all of you who have offered to lend me money to help me get home.

When it comes down to it, though, I’ve got friends here who can lend me what I need to rent a car. It’s way more than enough that you’re all trying to help me figure this out, and being so supportive. Seriously, I can’t thank you enough.

Anyway, I just wanted to update everyone about my plan. Whether it’s safe or not, I think I need to go back, or I’m not going to be able to forgive myself.

Like you guys have suggested, I’m not going to go back alone. I’ve got a friend who still lives in Utah. He lived in Piedmont until he was about 15, when his family moved to Ogden for his dad’s job. We’ve been in touch over e-mail this week. He told me last night that he was probably going to try to drive down this weekend. I’m going to call him, and see if I can meet him in Salt Lake City. It should be about a 10 hour drive from Cal, so I could be there by tonight, and we could be in Piedmont by early tomorrow morning.

Wish me luck, I guess.

  1. check this out…if you go to google and now try to satillite view a map of piedmont you get an error box right over where piedmont SHOULD be that reads “We are sorry, but we don’t have imagery at this zoom level for this region.
    Try zooming out for a broader look.”

  2. I wouldn’t know what to do in your situation, never have I lived something like that out. However, what I can tell you Is that there are people that are born fighters. Guess all you can do is watch your back, keep everyone updated. Good luck.

  6. well i hope they werent close friends because they just went on a suicide mission. come on if you havent heard anything in a week then the last thing you should do is run in head first no matter how many people you got with you.you need to get some sort of professional help and evaluate what you know and make a plan from there.just dont run in blind get yourself hurt or possibly killed.if you do decide to go use your knowledge of your hometown to get you in and out safely. keep us posted.
