Dehydrated on Day 6

So I made it a week in before I forgot I was in a desert and that I should drink water.

We went to the Titan II museum today where I got to see the last intact Titan II missile silo (complete with nuclear missile).









This is also where they filmed Star Trek: First Contact, so I got an extra kick out of that.





Oh, by the way, watch for rattlesnakes.





Afterwards, we went to Taco Bell for lunch (why aren't there more of these in Quebec?) and then headed for the PIMA Air and Space Museum, which is essentially a jillion planes parked inside and outside for my viewing pleasure. Considering I took almost 300 pictures, I'll post the highlights.







The plane in the top right is an old NASA Vomit Comet, and the one on the top left is one of 2 B52's that were modified to launch the X-15 rocket planes. The bottom one my research supervisor suggested I take.

Tomorrow I have some free time, so I may go for a bike ride (there are bikes here). My main deterrent is that I'm the youngest person around for 20 miles in every direction, and elderly drivers are scary.
