We took an off-ramp while driving through Arizona and came across the weirdest place. It's called Jackass Acres and consists of a petrol bowser, a collection of rusty old cars and a dusty little store with some even dustier antiques and a grizzled old guy in a rocker, chawing on some baccie. "What kind of ice cream do you have?", we asked innocently. "Melted!", he replied in a deadpan voice. Made our whole trip that did. Also found a little town called Gila Bend which had a diner shaped like a UFO straight out of the 50's. The sign says 'Welcome To Gila Bend, Home Of 1700 Friendly People And 5 Old Crabs'. The desert's not the only thing that's dry out that way, I guess. Getting lost is definitely the best way to see the real America.
