like the poll?

hi! we're in gallup.

I was going to do a whole intro thing here, like who I am and what I'm doing and why this blog, but you all know all that, right? right.

so mahesh and I left berkeley at 5am yesterday morning (wow, seems like ages ago) in the dark and cold and headed for LA, where we were to meet up with a man named Leonard who said he could reseal my injection pump with viton so it wouldn't leak when we put diesel in it. we made it there eventually (whittier looks a lot like hayward) and met Leonard, an interesting man with a rifle with a scope in his bathroom, a handgun on his hip, and not a lot of small talk in him. but he did a great job on the car and we were off early-ish the this morning, after spending some time with my family and eating a ton of food.

we took 210 out of LA,






met up with 15 north, and eventually hit 40 east




















where we've been ever since, through Barstow and Flagstaff and Needles and and all the way through Arizona, and now here we are at the KOA in Gallup, New Mexico where we could have paid $10 each to put the tent in a gravel square in the parking lot, or $20 each to stay in a Kamping Kabin, which is just too adorably hilarious to properly describe.


























now Mahesh is making some mac-n-cheez on our Kamping Kabin porch, I've eaten far too many pita chips, and it's chilly out here, so til next time.
