Nothing much to write about other than the fact that I thought I was going to die in a crazy dust storm. Here are some shots that Elise, my wonderful assistant and lover took along the way with explanations from yours truly.

First, of course, the obligatory “hey we’re leaving” shot of us at something like 7:00 in the morning after a very short night of sleep. The morning was cool and pretty enjoyable so I was as awake as I ever was luckily.

Secondly, a random shot in Pennsylvania, which turned out to be the only state worthwhile on the way over. The mountains were beautiful and we got to drive through a ridiculously cool/frightening storm. Here’s a shot Elise took during a break in the rain when we were traveling above a valley or something.

Third, here’s a shot that confirms what I’ve been suspicious of since me and Elise first started going out - she wants me out of her life forever. Look at how I’m cut out! What is with that? After I saw this picture on her camera I cried the rest of the way to Virginia.

Finally, the dust devil thingie. This thing seriously looked like a forming tornado and I pretty much thought we were going to have to barrel through it or hope that it didn’t come toward us.I actually came to a complete stop on the highway before venturing into it. Elise took some video that I stripped the audio from to preserve my manliness as well as the ears of children who may be watching for some odd reason.
