Randoms From The Road

Gonna need more than a tow truck for that one. The weather is being bipolar so I'm kicking off the weekend by staying inside. Temps have been in the 50s-70s range all week but now it's snowing, they're giving one to three inches of accumulation overnight. Dammit, can it spring already?!?!?

Now there's a car for a road trip! Back in 2018 me and a friend packed up the car and road tripped out west for a week. Sadly, it wasn't in a Nova. Covered 3000 miles in seven days and still managed to do a bit of adventuring in Amarillo, Santa Fe, and Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument.

First photo is from Cadillac Ranch just outside Amarillo, Texas and the next two are from the old town part of downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico.

These last two are from Tent Rocks, a little under an hour's drive southwest of Santa Fe. Despite the name they won't let you camp there, it's on reservation land.

Great cpatures

I drove past Cadillac Ranch this past winter. At first I felt surprised when I saw all those cars sticking up out of the ground but then I remembered I was in Texas.

then I remembered I was in Texas.

So many questions, one answer. Why does it suddenly smell like shit? Why do the rest stops consist of dumpsters and picnic tables? Why is everything so goddamn flat?

First time I drove through there on I-40 I somehow managed to completely miss it, these are from my second pass that way.

I thought Texas roads were pretty good, but it wasn't enough to make me want to stay. I bet the roads are only good because it's so flat.

I think you're right. If I hadn't drove through Kansas first I wouldn't've thought it was possible for land to be so flat. With all the cancer those wind turbines cause, I don't know why anyone would want to stay.

Well, they're something to look at I guess. Better than having nothing taller than cornstalks to the horizon in every direction.
