ROAD TRIP USA: Day 1

Oklahoma - Texas - New Mexico

No interstate highways. Just sweet, delicious countryside & dirt terrain.

First surprise stop: EISCHEN'S!

Fried okra, whole fried chicken & all the fixins...

made for good leftovers/road trip food. Yes, James is driving.

And he drives with his leg propped up when he's not driving with his thigh. So safe, right?

Oh hello!

I am of the opinion that the ip4 camera phone takes stunning nature photos in a moving vehicle & hates portraits, especially at night.

New Mexico

This is Storm Trooper, our hairy caterpillar. I found him crawling on my shirt and he inched his way across the dashboard, eventually falling.

We later found him on James's neck (??!?!) and then his toe. We left our OK pet in Eagle's Nest, New Mexico (below). I hope he makes lots of new friends.

Today's goal: New Mexico to the Grand Canyon. We shall see.
