When Venturi and I moved from Kansas to Arizona, we barely had enough cash for gas for the trip. We planned on pitching a tent at a KOA or whatever, but it turned out we couldn't even afford that. So we ended up spending the night at a rest stop outside Santa Rosa, NM. We saw a sky that night like I've never seen in my life - the Milky Way stretched from one end of the horizon to the other. It was breathtaking. We drank a couple of Sam Adam's beers and just stared up at the stars, and then snuggled in our tent with our big, dumb dogs nestled calmly at our feet.
The next time we can afford it (time-wise) I want to repeat that experience...maybe with a cabin next time...but if that's not do-able, a tent at the rest stop would be just fine.
