On my way, I stopped at a thrift store in Phoenix and purchased the only radio they had. I suppose I had too much silence over last few weeks and this crappy radio was the solution. It kind of worked, the main problem was on/off function and the volume, basically they will work unpredictable but tuning was solid nice. Made in August ...

I was also in snowbird state, Arizona which is known to have comfortable winters. I was relaxed and had more time of a little better cooking. Twyla on the other hand didn't have enough experience with cacti and was walking on thrones every now and then. Eventually she learned her lessons and stayed away from cacti. I spent about a week in this campsite. ...

It seemed far away from me but I was wrong. As soon as I hit the road, it started snowing. It was a nice snow in the beginning. But it covered everywhere within minutes. The main problem wasn't the snow itself, it was the...

However after a point these changes are so significant compared to your primary environment that you notice the change. Going from Texas to New Mexico is one of those changes for me. Even though the geography changes to more desert environment west of Dallas, I still feel a normal change (other th...
