Busy!
Wow, two websites to maintain and another one (this one) to vent about it! At least I’m spending my days productively, haha.
I just got back on Monday from my awesome 1,500+ mile trip to Mesa Verde. My last day consisted of me driving some 650 miles (!) from Gallup, New Mexico to Los Angeles, California. Stopped at the Painted Desert and Meteor Crater, Arizona. Wow, wasn’t expecting Meteor Crater to be that commercialized. $15 entrance fee to climb up the hill to look at a hole in the earth. I felt much better giving my $25 to drive through Zion National Park or $10 to drive to Mesa Verde or through the Painted Desert. But I feel kind of scammed giving $15 to see the Meteor Crater, especially when it says “Meteor Crater Incorporated” on my receipt (no joke…).
Anyhow, was a great drive, and definitely worth it. Hotel costs killed me on this trip though - I’ve got to find a way to cut back on those. Probably going in the summer and camping!
