Interstates, Speed Limits and Truck Stops, Oh my!


We are T minus 18 hours until we hit the road on path for Marfa, Texas. I've got two litter boxes set up for the cat, we're keeping the whole trip a secret from the dog, and we still need to pack all of our tie-dye shirts and arrowhead necklaces. So far, our trip is set to include the infamous Texas town, Marfa, The Davis Mountains, Carlsbad, and the long-awaiting Roswell, New Mexico. And when we say we're going on an old fashioned, road maps to the wall road trip, we mean it.

A few things I hope to do out in the wide open desert:
Find a genuine geode out on the side of the road.
Shake hands with a native american and buy some moccasins from him.
Visit more gas station museums than I ever could have imagined.
See a UFO of any type (I'll take what I can get!)

So stay tuned, America. We're heading into the heart of you (well, more like the left thigh) and we're don't know what to expect.
