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.

Lauren talked a worker into letting us borrow two...

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...
