Day 2: LA to Phoenix - Wednesday May 26, 2010

Woke up to a wonderful home cooked breakfast by Nate. Showered, packed up the car, filled up, deposited the last check at Citibank then headed to the 10. 

First interesting thing that happened on our drive was the uber creepy wind farm we drove through for about 10 miles. There were wind mills of every size and shape. Some of them were broken...though we aren’t really sure how wind mills break.
Then we hit Palm Springs...neither of us have been there before yet we both thought it was supposed to be a luxurious city with golf courses and resorts with pools. Maybe we missed it or maybe these things were far from the freeway, but we didn’t see any of that. Just weird windmills and desert.
Then we drove through the desert for what seemed like forever. Got pretty hot (95).
Saw two friends last names: Koch & Blythe. We’ll be on the lookout for more. 
Crossed over the Colorado River (SOO COOL) then crossed into Arizona. 1 mile into Arizona we started seeing cacti. Weird because there weren’t any in CA or at least that we saw. Evidently they don’t start growing arms until they’re 70 years old. We’ve seen some with 8 arms with look so cool.
