Movin' out

Driven from DC to Albuquerque in last three days. Wish I could be everywhere at once. So many wonderful people, so many incredible places. So much to do, so little time. Anyway, in true Kerouac style, I've sped on through taking cat naps here and there. I adore the open road. Driving really does make me happy. Point being, staying in a hotel tonight, meaning a bed.
Oh, wonderful bed.
Thoughts so far.
West Virginia really isn't that bad. In fact I'm a fan. Huntington's cool. Kentucky's beautiful. Tennessee's about as southern as you get. Skipped Nashville, another time. Memphis is wonderful.

With a little tlc it could be hoppin' in no time. Still in love with my car. She's still nameless.(Any suggestions? Something long that can be shortened into a nickname. Pictures to come.) Oklahoma kinda sucks. New Mexico's intriguing, kinda magical. Albuquerque's got this completely awesome edge that's only softened by the smallish population and heat.
(Picture below: where I ate dinner.)

Phoenix next, then LA.
(Pictures are not mine, camera cord is packed away in the bottom of my trunk.)
