Road Trip: Day 5

I wish I was eloquent enough to describe the beauty I saw while driving through the desert landscape of Arizona, but I'm not. So here's a quote from one of my favorite books that perfectly summarizes how this land has captured me.

"McCandless was stirred by the austerity of this landscape, by it's saline beauty. The desert sharpened the sweet ache of his longing, amplified it, gave shape to it in sere geology and clean slate of light."
-Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer

Home now. This road trip was really, really something else. I will be posting details about the trip in days to come.
