I'm driving out to Austin Psych Fest next week and am figuring out where I need to fill in the map. Last time I went out through Marfa and back through Lubbock and Santa Fe. Right now I'm possessed with a couple things: visiting Salvation Mountain before it's consumed by the fates (Leonard Knight died in Feb), getting lunch at Camacho's in El Centro, a mocha shake from Bentley's Coffee on Speedway Blvd. in Tucson, breakfast at the Bisbee Breakfast Co., and on the way back I'd like to get to at least one supposed Roswell UFO crash site.

Anything else is up in the air. What's going on out there over the next two weeks?

carlsbad caverns? (although the bats aren't in full effect yet)

Haven't been to the caves since the 70s. Def. thinking of stopping there.

if you've never been to hotel congress in tucson, its a cheap & charming place that makes for a good halfway spot between austin and LA (are you coming from LA?)

i just got a room there 2 weeks ago

The Murray Hotel in Silver City, NM is a cool place and an absolute bargain: http://www.murray-hotel.com

At risk of sounding like a damn tourist, Silver City itself was actually a great place to hole up in for a bit.

Ever wanted to know what the SE corner of New Mexico looks like? Inadvertently found a geocache - I left a band flyer.
