With Snax In Tow
I’m on the road again. I have just spent a relaxing two weeks with my good friends Mike and Sarah, as well as my godson, Matty. I’d be the first to admit that we didn’t do too much. But as I’ve said before, it was good to get back on the road. Next stop is the Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma. After visiting Santa Fe, I want to drop by Mesa Verde NP and Arches NP. While near Durango, I also hope to get some horseback riding in. I’m sure it will be nose-to-tail trail riding, but I want to eventually get enough skill to do some horse packing. I will take the Durango time to figure out if the experience matches the imagination.
Before leaving Houston, I stopped to get extra supplies. I walked out of Mike and Sarah’s house with six bottles of water, three fresh cookies, six rolls of sweet tarts, and about 10,000 Tic-Tacs (both green and white). While the tic-tacs seem endless, the cookies didn’t make it to Dallas.
Therefore, I stopped at a supermarket and got some rolls, cheese, Windex, and, much to my delight, a huge box of Little Debbie Star Crunch snax for just $2.99. I had lived off these things during college. It had the highest calorie to dollar ratio (350 cals/$.25) of anything in the campus food shop. Those and multivitamins got me through sophomore year. I took it as a good omen, so I bought a box and took a picture.
I drove to Wichita Falls, Texas last night and got a cheap room in a cheap hotel. My plan is to get going early in the morning. Let’s see.
P.S. I cannot get the stupid map on the left of the page to work right. I think I’ll have to drop in a Google Map when I get the chance. [ed: Fixed as of August 1]

Hell yeah man Little Doobie rocks.
I wanted to remind you about Daniel’s Bachelor party in Vegas. Yeah, it’s this coming weekend! Your presence is still mandatory (quitting you job does not get you out of all obligations 
It`ll make for some great blogging, but no cameras allowed, stick figure drawings of the event may fly but are always at management`s discretion.
Anyways, love your site, keep living the dream for all us bus-shaped cubicle dwellers.

I do hope you get to see Bandoleer(SP?) National Monument between Durango and Farmington. Right up your alley, with Indian Ruins, etc., similar to Mesa Verde, but not as old as the Anasazi. You are in my “roots” area.
