As Watoosa has reported, we've made it as far as New Mexico. The drive has been more or less uneventful. We spent last night in Barstow, California, on the edge of the Mojave Desert. Today's drive--approximately 600 miles--was pretty much all desert, broken up by the Colorado River and a brief cut through the Kaibab National Forest. We passed up some tantalizing diversions, like the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest, and the big Meteor Crater that you've seen in photographs. But with a half-crazed (and wholly vicious) feline in the car, it's just not possible to stop.
It's not as jaw-droppingly impressive as our drive through central and southwestern Utah, but it was beautiful, all the same. And now I can color in another state in my map of states I've visited. Tomorrow, I'll be able to add Oklahoma.
The picture above is from the one moment of excitement today: a dino-attack. For another great picture, check out Watoosa's post.

ick,
are you coming through StL? If so, tell us when so we know when to order the Blackthorn.

Don't get eaten by the dino-bot 3000s as you travel cross country. Perhaps Gretta is so angry becaue you didn't name her cat-bot 3000 (if I remember correctly that was it, right?).
It was down to "CatBot 5000," "Ruprecht," and "Captain Stubing."
But none of those seemed appropriate once we saw her.
