183202 – Fear and Loathing on Bro'back Mountain

After tens of minutes of rigorous academic inquiry, Kyle and I finally bid farewell to the International UFO Museum, Research Center & Autistic Science Fair Emporium. Unfortunately, we missed out on the famous Roswell bicycle tricksters. Continuing our push westward, we set our sights on Las Cruces. Along the way, we stumbled upon the world’s largest pistachio at the McGinn Family Pistachio Tree Ranch. Driving through the middle of nowhere, it really came as a surprise to see these nuts.


Kyle, didn't you bring some mescaline?


Things started disappearing.


Our eyes slowly opened.


We found ourselves in a world without color.


We were no longer slaves to gravity.


Kyle decided to chase the dragon.


We finally stumbled upon the road back to the known.


Back on earth, we headed for Las Cruces where we stopped briefly for lunch at La Posta de Mesilla. Kyle and I threw down a couple enchiladas, Bloody Marias, and some of the best chips and salsa I can remember. The plan was originally to stop for the night in El Paso, which is only a half hour south of Las Cruces, but after the otherworldly events of the past 48 hours, we decided to head all the way to Phoenix, to Casa de Colpitts. It's finally time to reunite the gatekeeper with the key master.
