GLOW/BLOW LA.

Too crowded, not enough art, but hey, at least it was at the beach.

Korean* BBQ

Afterwards we watched The Clockwork Orange at the Hollywood Cemetery, how fitting is that.


*(No, we did not cook and eat DaYoung)

The show must go on.

The Goodness Party.

The party was like a big Family Reunion, so many ex-crispinites as well as current ones. So much fun.

I stole this pic from Dunlap's facebook post, since i forgot to bring my camera, go figure.

The Desert to LA.

Somehow there is a community at Lake Havasu National Park, that comes in after hours and leaves before the ranger arrives in the morning to collect money. Great people, we quickly became one of them.

The Rain - Lake Havasu.




The Sunset Crater Vulcano

Cliff Dwellings.

So smart, like modern Condos, but you just had to add a wall instead of a whole new structure.

Sadly a stupid rock fell onto the path around the mountain, and blocked the path completely, so we weren't allowed to do the little walk-around. Bummer.

The Meteor Crater.

The Great Hare on Route 66.

GREAT? More like a horse.

The Petrified Forest.

The northern area of the park encompasses part of the multihued badlands of the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation called the Painted Desert. The southern area includes colorful terrain and several concentrations of petrified wood. Several American Indian petroglyph sites are also found there.

Best Sunset Ever.

Of course the prettiest sunset had to happen the second we start driving through a park infested with Elk. Giant Elk who hide in the blinding sun, ready to jump out in front of slow moving VW buses. Blinded by beauty? Maybe. Scared to death of wrecking our home/car? Certainly.




The Very Large Array.

You haven't lived until you've pissed right in front of a bunch of scientists searching for intelligence in outer space.

But for the record. According to the laws of nature. We own the VLA.


Smokey The Bear

Smokey Bear is not only the icon of the longest running public service campaign, but he was an actual American black bear who in the spring of 1950 was caught in a wildfire that burned 17,000 acres in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico. The cub was in the Lincoln National Forest. Smokey had climbed a tree to escape the blaze, but his paws and hind legs had been burned. He was rescued by a Game Warden after the fire.

He was given to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., where he lived for 26 years. Upon his death in November 1975, Smokey's remains were returned to New Mexico, and buried at what is now the Smokey Bear Historical Park.

The Wild Wild West delivery system.

Lincoln - Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War

The Lincoln County War, is pretty messed up. Basically, one man had a store. He charged too much. Another man opened up another store and charged less. The first guy killed the man who "Rolled Back" the prices.

Maybe someone should have shot Sam Walton? But then again, we'd never have this.

Roswell

Good Coffee, no aliens.

Carlsbad Caverns

Insane, we spend 5 hours underground inside those caves.


Carl and the column.

New Mexico Desert. Endless as well.



Cute picture of carl not making a face.

View out of our bus in Balmorhea Springs.

In Austin with Adrian

We spend July 4th with adrian in austin, tx. Great city and amazing food. Again we gained a couple of pounds.
