Snow? WTF

New Mexico...



"The land of Enchantment" is what they call it at the border, and if by "enchantment" they mean horribly mis-calculated weather prediction then they are right on.

We've been stuck here in Silver City, NM for 4 days now waiting for the "weather storm" to pass before tackling our highest mountain on the whole trip. Our days are spent on the internet, doing interviews with local papers, hanging out like trendy kids at the local coffee shop, "Javalina", and eating lots of mexican food. We are at over 6,000 feet so we drink lots of water and keep in shape by running laps up and down the nearest mountain.

New Mexico

VALENTINE.

California over...



Well, California is over and it has treated us well, from the mighty bosom of the roaring pacific, to the gentle strawberry shakes at In&Out burger, yessir, CA was wonderful.

Dom and Meers RodeHard through this sunny state and remember it and its people with much fondness. Riding east out of San Diego was less than scenic after coming down the coast and viewing the pacific ocean everyday. we ran into high mountain passes, our first frost, and even a body in the middle of the desert. We couldn't bare to be in CA for the superbowl so we made a hard push to get to AZ and watch Tom Brady get shut down by that cry-baby Eli Manning. AZ seems so far to be made of dirt and rocks, and dirt covered rocks. We'll see what else we can find...

San Diego to Phoenix in 6 days.



Dom and Meers make it all the way to San Diego.
