Timanfaya National Park

Wouldn't it be handy to have a grill that's always hot and consumes no electricity or gas: see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timanfaya_National_Park More pictures on picasa: http://picasaweb.google.com/anders.e.e.wallin/TimanfayaNationalParkLanzarote#

On day 4 of the roadtrip the Prius rolled back west via Barstow, Victoville, San Bernardino, and towards the end a slow drive through a gigantic LA with both very poor neighborhoods and very rich ones, plus everything in between. The contrast between all the wilderness/desert [...]
