Day 6 – 20 miles from the border of Arizona

Not much this morning. We slept in which felt amazing. This time travel has really messed up our internal clock, and our regular clocks too.

We found an awesome car wash in Las Cruces called Mister Car Wash. They got all the bugs off the car. It’s one of the largest car wash chains in the US so we plan on using them again. You get some pretty gross bug splatter on these desert highways at 75mph.

We saw a couple dust devils and are now on the lookout for more. Watching a dust devil kick up a tumbleweed is way more entertaining than garbage on the side of I-95. We also saw a few 2-mile long trains. I’m not sure if they were for use or just for spray painting. There’s some pretty talented spray painters out here in the desert.

There’s an abundance of fireworks out here. You’d think that’d be dangerous with how dry it is, but I guess it’s not a problem.

I’ve been seeing a ton of wild cows along the highway. Eddie says they belong to someone but I don’t believe it. They are way to far away from home if they belong to someone. I wish we could stop to feed them as I’m sure they are hungry but Eddie said no.

We are really enjoying the smooth highways. Eddie is day dreaming about how fast he could drive all his cars on these straight, flat roads. I never imagined we’d be enjoying driving through the desert as much as we are.
