Presenter: Justine Shapiro
Justine Shapiro's journey through south west United
States begins in Gallup on the New
Mexico border, where she visits a Native American intertribal
ceremonial. The event lasts for six days and whilst
there, Justine attends an Indian Rodeo, checks out Native
American cuisine and watches some amazing tribal dances.
From Gallup, Justine takes a spectacular train journey
north east to Santa Fe, where she acquires
a motorbike and cruises along to Taos. She stops in
Taos to investigate the Earthships
- homes constructed entirely with recycled materials. |

Justine heads south from Taos to Roswell,
the site of a reported UFO crash in 1947. Justine investigates
the incident, which has become shrouded in secrecy,
and hears some convincing evidence about the case.
Justine continues her journey by bike, stopping next
at the small town of Deming, where
she takes part in the Great American Duck Race. She
then heads north west to Tucson, in
the state of Arizona. Here she meets
some cowboys and takes a horse ride through the desert.
She also trades in the motorbike for a car and finds
a fellow traveller to share costs on the way North to
Sedona.
When they reach the New Age capital of Sedona, Justine
has a physic reading, and is told that her new car will
break down in six to eight months time. The next day
the car gets towed to the nearest garage, and Justine
gets a lift to Peach Springs at the
West rim of the Grand Canyon. She goes on a white water
rafting trip, then takes to the skies in a helicopter
to view this awesome natural beauty. |

After picking up her car again, it's an eighteen hour
drive north-west via the bright lights of Vegas, to
the Black Rock Desert. Here, Justine
ends her journey at the Burning Man festival.
All that is weird and wonderful can be found
here, as Justine discovers, when she visits the smut
shack, is offered frozen bugs, and joins the Pagan revellers
for the burning of a forty foot neon man.
