Today we left CA and drove through Arizona, New Mexico, and stopped for the night in El Paso, TX. We lost an hour when we crossed New Mexico. I don’t like the idea of gaining time back, or losing it, depending on how you look at it.
I keep picking up wireless internet signals from the highway, but we’re traveling so quickly that there isn’t enough time before I lose the signal. I think it would be really funny to use the internet from the car; almost as funny as using it in my tent in the middle of the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Nothing overly exciting to report today. We stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch because Ilona had never been and wanted to see what it’s all about. Cracker Barrel is one of my grandfather’s favorite places to eat, so I’ve definitely been to my fair share of Cracker Barrels before.
I don't understand the weather in the southwest.
Today I saw a highway exit sign that had, "Correction Facility," written above it and, "Camping," written below it. Why in the world would you ever camp near a correctional facility?! I think it's rather funny since all along the highway in Nevada there were signs that read, "Correctional Facility in area, don't pick up hitchhikers." Nevada doesn't want you to pick anyone up while Arizona and New Mexico encourage you to camp near their facilities.

Ah...yet one more Cracker Barrel to add to your memory bank;)
It is rather an oxymoron corretional facilities and campgrounds in the same space. Perhaps the inmates camp on a permanent basis...wouldn't the ultimate punishment be to sleep on the ground with no running water or indoor "facilities"? Cheaper than operating an air-conditioned facility.
You didn't go to Mesa Verde???
Bad girl, bad.
