SF -> Albuquerque

Perfectly cubic rainbow, just over the Colorado River in Arizona:

Its 7am in the middle of the desert.  Yesterday I put in 17 hours behind the wheel and made it from 21st and Mission to Albuquerque NM.  I got to drive through some incredible desert in Arizona, it was raining and snowing with bits of blue sky visible the entire time.  I almost drove off the road from snow near Flagstaff.

Some of the cool things I noticed on the trip that I didn't expect were,

- Massive clean energy setups on the CA / AZ border.  Enormous wind and solar setups churning for miles

- Snow in Arizona

- Giant signs saying "Congress Created Dustbowl" in the greenest fields I've seen outside of Ireland packed with fat cows

California Central Valley:

Arizona Mountains:

After seeing the Moavi Desert (sp?) yesterday, I'm ready for the painted rocks, long flat 90 mph stretches, and hopefully I'll make it to Dallas tonight!

Cheers,
