When I did uploaded all my road trip photos recently, I felt like there were several missing images, particularly from Cuervo and Tucumcari, New Mexico.
Last night, I found them! They were conveniently hidden on my iBook in the ~/roadtip/images directory. Clever, tricksey, wicked, filthy, stinking little jpegs! We hates them!
Anyway, I just added a them to the Eastbound — New Mexico album, precious.

Nice pics… but I love living in Washington, much more to see.

Ack. Dead cow.
I’ve had the benefit of living in Washington and New Mexico. There’s an equal amount to see in both states, but it’s tough to get me to leave WA, that’s for sure.
As kids growing up in Albuquerque, we used to make fun of Tucumcari. Think about it…

Yeah I once had blurry water. It came from the L.A. reservoir. “Personally I like my swill with a twist”.
you drove right by my house wil…
why didn’t you come visit?!!
nice pics, for sure.
Perdy.
OMFG!! You take dorky pictures just lke me. *Grin*
I LOVE your commentary. You should write a travel guide. Like Rick Steve’s or whatever his name is, only it’d be cool enough for your Monkeys.
Wheeeeeeeeee!!
Ever catch yourself sculpting the Mesa out of your mashed potatoes?
ahhh…because they were in “roadtip” instead of “roadtrip”.
Anyone could have made that mistake.
Wil, you’ve made me so homesick for this truly enchanted state! I lived in Santa Fe from 1991 to 1998, and still make the trip out from Dallas about once a year. You need to spend more time there to discover what a weird wonderful state of mind New Mexico really is!
Hey Wil,
A good way to get pictures of yourself without all the chins is to position the camera so you look up at it. Love the weblog!
*cue music- “close encounters”*
“Do,do,do,do,DOOOOOOOOOOO”
Those pictures were awesome, and I really enjoy reading your weblog. Thanks for sharing!
I just wanted to say how pleased I am that you’ve found the time to update so often and well, all while things seem to go swimmingly for you. So often in the past it has seemed that when you have time to update, it’s because you aren’t getting enough work and so have more time on your hands. Now, it seems like you have BOTH time AND work, and I’m very glad for you. Please keep writing. I love reading this stuff.
Hey Wil! Great pictures! I’m from Germany, but was an exchange student in New Mexico. I lived in a village that was a mix of Tucumcari and Cuervo, I’d say, so I loved seeing those pictures. Made me a sentimental, but also very happy to live in Berlin. And man, I do miss those rootbeer floats at Sonic in Tucumcari. lol
Hey Wil, those photos are FAB! i really enjoy looking at them all, and appreciating the time and effort that has gone into, not only the pictures, but the added captions too! Cheers dude! Keep up the GREAT work.

FUCKING SPAMMING MOTHER FUCKERS.
62.194.93.108 would be an interesting IP address to explore, I imagine.
For those of you looking for a good investment opportunity, the Tucumcari Ethanol Plant is for sale.

*claps like seal* You talked like Gollum! Whee!
“But master is my friend. You haven’t got any friends, nobody likes youuu!”
I shall now do a happy smeagol dance for the fun pictures.
As an aside, I really liked seeing the pictures of all the nifty signs.
I knew it, Wil! I just knew you’d be a LotR fan! You are the coolest. I love LotR and can’t wait for RotK- but at the same time I’ll be sad, ‘cuz it’s the last one in the trilogy.
Love, Alicia

The “box” with a roadrunner is an Albuquerque trash can. Ah, how I remember those suckers. You’d be amazed at how much fancier it all looks compared to just a few years ago.
WIL,
Those were good pictures of the wild west. I never take pictures but it is a good thing that some people do.
FG
Ever notice how many more hits the pictures of anne get? LoL … kinda intruiging
The Motel 6 with the “Indoop Poo” would be a good one to send to Jay Leno.
