Allright. We're in Holbrook, Arizona, and ... it's terrible. Don't go to Holbrook, Arizona. Saying that this place reeks of fart would be an insult to the good name of fart. Basically, it smells like 30,000 geriatric people all got massive runs. At. The. Same. Time.
Every time I go from one room to another, the fart smell changes. It's like there's flavors of fart that are constantly being pumped into our hotel room. Oh, our hotel room? It's like in those 5 or 6 movies where the dude lives in a shitty apartment under a train track. Except with fart gas instead of air.
Hold me :(
Anyway, pics. Starting from yesterday, because I didn't get a chance to upload them. Oh wait, yesterday wasn't interesting, because it looked like this at 90% of the time.
The other 10% was at this truck stop/native american novelty thing. It was pretty cool, and the view across the Oklahoma farmland was pretty awesome.
Anyway, on to today! We started out in Tucumcari, NM, and went to Old Town Albuquerque for lunch. Then, we hit 25 South and took our first pit stop in Socorro. We headed west along route 60, which is a freakin' gorgeous road, to take a look at the largest radio telescope array in the U.S., appropriately called the Very Large Array.
Before we got to the actual telescope, we got into a little... fight with the dirt road we thought was the entrance. Yes, we managed to find the ONLY mud puddle in New Mexico. The trail we left, after we unloaded the car and pushed it out:
Aftermath. There was dirt on the roof of the car.
Then, I had to get the car back across the puddle. There's a video of this on our camcorder. It was messy.
After finding the *right* road, we got to walk around the VLA.
As we left, I took a couple pics of the car, for great justice. This was also where I discovered that everything looks cooler in widescreen.
Then, we got back in, and hit route 60 to Arizona. It was such a beautiful drive that I forgot to take photos :( Seriously, it was amazing, and if you're even in the area, don't just sit on 40 like a douche. Go to Socorro, check out the VLA, and hit up Route 60.
In Arizona, as the sun was setting, I was able to capture this unique lighting situation:
We did not get to see much of Arizona, as it had gotten dark. So, we blasted some music, and booked it down empty county roads. At some point we took a side road to park and look at stars, and found ourselves on the edge of a huge lake.
And now, we're in Holefart, smellin' farts, getting vibrated by trains. Tomorrow, it's the Grand Canyon and Vegas.
