It was a strange journey and a strange place to be. I've seen rain hanging beneath clouds, but I'd never before seen shadows hanging under clouds. I only understood when we saw a road sign that said 'Blowing Dust'.

Thanks to poor planning I arrived without dark glasses. Within 10-15 minutes I couldn't keep both eyes open a the same time. $36 for some polarized dark glasses and my eyes recovered over the next few hours. Next time it's a black bandana or burnt cork on my cheekbones. It is the light coming off the salt that gets you. That light spot right-of-center in half the pictures? Salt on the lens.

I saw a number of things that are popular on Ecomodder:
•boat tails

I already posted this in an appropriate thread

•grille blocks

nuf' said

•front fender skirts

But none on the back?

•diffusers

...and box cavities, some of my favorite subjects

Anyways... The cost of available lodging starts at 0 dollars and it is one day's travel each way. I wonder if I'll be back?
