Ladies and Gentlement, your guest blogger, APRIL!
I may not be as nimble with the keyboard as Adam in previous posts, but i have experienced the same events over the past 24 hours which are listed in (close to) chronological order below!
I prefer to give the rest of the series of events in bullet form. I'm an engineer, its easier for me than creating catchy segueways... (and i obviously can't spell...)

• Santa Rosa has nothing to offer. We tried. Twice.
• We ate at the silver moon cafe. This may sound like a cute Route 66 diner with a Native American flare, but assuming this would leave you with much dissapointment. It was tasty and the highlight of the meal was our bottles of "Roswell Alien Amber Ale." As touristy as it sounds, it was actually tasty.
• We concluded that Santa Rosa was the inspiration for the town of Radiator Springs in Disney's "Cars." The only difference is the happy, inspirational and transformational ending, as every building in the town was still boarded and abandoned. I'm sure the town was adorable OVER 50 YEARS AGO! (surely not!)
• This morning began early. The highlight of the morning was seeing the largest cross in the Western Hemisphere on the NM/TX boarder. it IS as cool as it sounds!
• Before the cross (and while i was enjoying a wonderful morning nap) the remaning members of our party saw an entire field on fire! The smoke was so thick it blotted out the sun in an apocolyptic manner. The humorous side of this event was the circa WWII fire engines (not even yet trucks) attempting to extiguish the blaze. We laughed at their tragedy due to the sheer futilness of thier efforts.
• We stopped for lunch in Shamrock Texas. They have such a great gimmick, however, not a single shamrock was seen in the town. We did find Shamrock shakes at the McDonalds. The accents and pride run deep in Texas...
• Jokes about Texas are as follows: 1. No one noticed any change in any sizes. 2. We saw lots of steer, but no visibly identifyable queers. 3. Oh yes, we messed with Texas... without consequence.
• Texas gave way to the delightfully dull plains of Oklahoma. Every town is extremely proud of anyone who was once a resident.
• We drove through Oklahoma City with the intent to find a hotel on the east side. This ended 3 hours later in Arkansas. There is nothing on the east side of OK city.
• We finally stopped 900 miles after beginning in Van Buren, Arkansas. We walked to the Chili's with the intent of overindulging on Presidente Margaritas. To our shock and suprise, we were in a DRY COUNTY!! (WTF?!?!) By the way, the chili's menu is much thinner without a drink section, but there was more room on the table for our food.
• We headed to Walmart to buy random crap and mixers for our drinks in our room. Thank goodness we saved some Tequila from previous stops!

Hopefully tomorrow will provide more fun (and margaritas?). Since we went way farther than planned, tomorrow is a slow day that will include puppies and Graceland.

'Till tomorrow! Cheers!
