  • Needles, United States
Needles, California. What a terrible place to be. It was one of those, "we need to drive closer to Sacramento so point to a spot on the map and get a hotel there" kind of situations. Needles has really cheap hotels, most advertising $30 a night. Surprisingly, the hotel we stayed at was not a very high quality hotel. We only spent $35 on each room, but we got what we paid for. The...

  • Grand Canyon, United States
We left Mesa Verde around 7am, stopped at the Four Corners for a bit, and then went on to the Grand Canyon! We had three hours of hiking time, one at first, so I hiked on the rim trail for a while. Then we had two hours after lunch and Ketki and I hiked down the Blue Angel trail, we guess about a mile down before we had to head back up. Ketki did the whole hike in flip flops!! I was...

  • Mesa Verde National Park, United States
After spending the night in El Paso, we hit the road around 7am for Mesa Verde, Colorado. It's totally out of the way, but completely worth it. I got to go to Colorado, and we got to see the cave dwellings at Mesa Verde. The sad news is that it was pouring rain that day. So we got to Mesa Verde and it's freezing cold and I only had t-shirts and shorts packed with me. We went outside...

  • White Sands National Monument, United States
We were told that we couldn't drive all the way to New Mexico and stay there overnight. (We're only allowed 9 hours of driving a day or something like that). So we got a hotel in El Paso, but still ended up going to the White Sands National Park, an hour and a half away, each way. Whatever it takes, right?Well, this park was beautiful. Lauren talked a worker into letting us borrow two...

  • El Paso, United States
Today we hit the road from Austin at 4am. We wanted an early start. We were about 50 miles away from El Paso when one of our tires blew out. Luckily Liz handled it very well, and safely pulled the 12 passenger van over. Also luckily, Tom, Jenny, and I had recently changed the tire so we knew exactly what to do. Unfortunately, the tire that we removed originally and put back as our spare was...
