out west.

i gotta say, eisenhower had a wonderful idea with those interstates. they may let you "drive across the country without seing anything" but i tell you, there isn't a lot to see. the craziest thing about the west/southwest is how flat everything gets and consequently how far you can see, even if there isn't a lot there. i am used the horizon being bounded by hills and mountains. storms roll sluggishly in from the west, first clouds, and then later rain.

out there it is so flat, you can see the storms miles away. the clouds seem to be dragging curtains of rain across the landscape. and when you have the cruise control set at 90mph, you run into those storms quicker than you would think :)

the rest of the pics from the trip are here.
