at ridgecrest in the Clouds cafe

This has been a great little trip so far.  I felt sorry fo the westbond traffic on 1-40.  A truck spilled a ton of drywall in the mountain part of the interstate and traffice was backed up 7 miles.  I actually checked the milage with my odometer so they aren't "baptist" numbers.  7.2 miles of panicked travelers wondering what the heck is going on... cars trying to squeze by trucks and truck creating blockades to prevent them.  Really a study in human nature.
