Car covered in snow this morning. Gonna be an interesting drive out of Arizona and into California. |
| 09:51 |
Last night I was attacked by a tumbleweed. This morning my gas filler door was frozen shut. Fun times. |
| 09:52 |
Back in California. Lunch in Barstow, dinner in Tehachapi. |
| 10:51 |
Brief stop at Amboy Crater. Will look it up on Wikipedia to find out what I just saw. |
| 12:17 |
Hey! You know that hour I lost in Bullhead City? It was waiting for me in Laughlin. Funny it's always in the last place you look. |
| 14:58 |
Just arrived in Tehachapi, where the streets are sheets of ice and the intersections are freezing rivers. But at least the sky's blue. |
| 20:36 |
Walked 4 blocks each way in 27F, icy streets & wind to dinner. Why, you may ask. Maybe to remind myself why I don't live in the snow belt. |

Light snow in Prescott. Looks like I'm leaving just in time. Shouldn't be a problem at the lower elevations, or so I hope. |
| 09:27 |
Snow! http://plixi.com/p/66436200 |

Back in Kingman, AZ after a rather wet drive along Route 66. Stopped at a microdistillery for a tasting of vodka & rum. A lucky find. |

Trying an Italian restaurant tonight. Hoping the food's better than their vocalist. I fear it won't be. |
| 19:06 |
@scapersuse I think it's the lack of distractions. |
| 19:08 |
@scapersuse See, if I were there, I'd be busily trying to distract you! |

Flipping channels in the hotel, I accidentally stopped for a moment on Sarah Palin's Alaska. Make the pain go away... |

Google Maps sent me on a wild goose chase through a state park. Fuck you very much, Google. |
| 15:20 |
In case you're keeping track, I arrived in Prescott, AZ today after a wander along Route 66 from Kingman to Seligman. Time to turn for home. |
| 18:32 |
Not my day. Car & Google agree on location of interesting restaurant. But it was nowhere to be found. Drowning my sorrows in a Bloody Mary. |

Seem to have lost an hour somewhere between California & Arizona. But if it has to happen, Bullhead City's a good place to lose it. |
| 15:26 |
BTW, Baghdad Cafe is still on Route 66 and claims to be open. Just so you know. And you're welcome. |

Beautiful light show as the sunset turned the desert hills pink. Sadly, by the time I found a good vantage point the show was over. |

Road trippin', across the universe... Today's destination: Palmdale, CA. Then I turn east. |

Arrived in Palmdale. Weather & traffic cooperated, and there's an Original Tommy's near the hotel. Life is good. Just don't get downwind. |

On my way to Sacramento. @joelmchale tonight, photo shoot tomorrow. |

Glad I didn't plan any scenic photography today. Haven't seen this much gray since winter in Iowa. |
| 18:09 |
A little sushi before the show. Sacramento's a pretty happening place on a Saturday night. Or is it just this Saturday night? |

@VictoriaDahl Tron was some of the first and best CGI most of us had seen. It was like being inside a videogame of the era. |

@VictoriaDahl The lightcycle game may have come out before the movie. There was at least one game that came out after. |

@VictoriaDahl I think it was just how different it all looked. Like most Disney movies, it was shallow as hell. We just didn't care. |
