Arizona

To go way back in our trip, I came to a few conclusions:
Oklahoma roads are worse than Mississippi's.
Oklahoma is flat.
Arkansas doesn't want you to leave. (Arkansas was full of wrong turns and U-turns)

We're about to hit the Arizona border. The snowy mountains are pretty awesome! I drove from around 3 to 7 before I started seeing things. Ok we just stopped for a picture at the border. The car thermometer said it was 15 degrees! Check out the picture. Ok so we stopped in Amarillo, TX at Waffle House. As you all know, that's always an adventure. I switched with Dave and started driving. It was around 3am when I started and I was feeling pretty good. It's gotten easier to sleep as the trust factor has increased! We then made our way to the Cadillac Ranch and Zach left a "Roll Tide" on the side of a Cadillac. To quote Zach: "Is there any better place to be than in the middle-of-nowhere Texas at 3 o'clock in the morning?" We made our way through Texas and stopped at what we thought was the New Mexico border sign, only to find the official sign 100ft further down the road. After crossing into New Mexico, we only picked up one radio station and it was in Spanish. We finally picked up a second station - country. It was strange hitting the scan button to come back to the station we were just on. The moon came out bright and we were able to generally see the flatness surrounding us. It was a pretty boring drive. We stopped at a gas station and picked up some neccessities (including a nice silver ring) then pushed on. We made it about 30 miles outside Albuquerque before I had to stop driving. As I was finishing, the sun was rising behind us. The New Mexico sunrise was colorful and a pleasant sight to see. I switched with Zach and then was out like a light. I woke up a few different times. One time we were driving through the snow covered mountains. Another time we were in Adobe House Pueblo Village Central. I really don't know, I was still half-asleep. We're currently making our way to Flagstaff to take a detour to the Grand Canyon. There's still snow on the ground.
