arizona trip: desert scenery

friday morning we slept in a little bit then began our journey to the magical land of phoenix, az.

we saw a wind farm, which was really cool to me. i have never seen so many windmills in one place. i kept thinking of catherine and my debate case freshamn year when we argued that the best renewable resource to replace fossil fuel dependence was wind energy. i still think it is a good idea even though i am not getting a grade on it. we made it to ron and sharons in about 6 hours or so, after making a couple of quick pit stops. one was in desert center - if you are ever making the drive on the 10... do NOT i repeat do NOT stop in desert center, i do not care how bad you have to pee. you will regret it. the gas station was on eof the old kind with no way to use a credit card and the numbers spin instead of are digital. the guy running the station was sitting in the sun drinking a beer when we pulled up. i felt like we were in a horror movie. the bathroom was scary - the main door didnt shut (thankfully the stall door did) and there was no soap and the sink was broken. it was yucky.

we also stopped in quartzsite which was actually civilization. we got a quick dinner and headed back on the road...
