This is a big desert
We didn't schedule a gig yesterday. Without a pressing schedule we took our time to rest, to eat, and to hang out in the desert. Many travel the path between Phoenix and San Diego, but getting off the road just a little seemed very far from everything and anything.
We spent most of the day on the road and thankfully we didn't have to do much driving in the dark. What night driving we did was in the mountains. Unfortunately, we got stopped by the border patrol. The officer walked up to Ian in the passenger seat. Shining the light inside on all our gear covered in black sheets, he informed us that he usually sees Astro vans full of adults or dope. Somewhat surprisingly, he made his visit extremely short. Maybe it was our complexion. He certainly smelled something - but it sure wasn't dope.
