Last two days.

Start off yesterday I was able to spend a few hours touring a mine at the tecopa mines. He has 4 and they are fascinating.

I was mega amused with his Cacti on the road to and fro

Cacti!
More Cacti!
And more!

Then we wandered over to Furnace creek and then a big circle back to our hotel in Pahrump.

Left first thing this morning and went to Area 51 cause, why not.

Then we went to some dunes and explored.

We then went to Cero Gordo and that was interesting.

Then we went up to Lone Pine and the western movie museum and that was very cool.

Then we headed down to Victorville and started on the Rt 66 adventures.

Tomorrow more wandering on Rt 66

Oh we also looked at 100 other things I didn’t mention.

Most of our pics are boring if you aren’t us, so only sharing a few

Random mine on side of hill with some Joshua tree love.

Death Valley and places.

Today was incredible. We drove prob 400 miles in deserts and mountains. Went through Mojave, and then into Death Valley and then went up to Dante’s view.

So we were 280 feet below sea level and then 1 mile up looking down on where we were before.

Sea level
Same thing

Please ignore the snow on the ground. It is in fact salt. Very soft to walk on.

We did some wandering around the Artists Pallet area where the colors are incredible

Then we climbed up and looked down.

There was more and some movies I’ll add later maybe but we are tired so bed is more important. 3 hr time shift is a killer some days.

Today we hit the highway.

Yesterday quick stops included 7 magic mountains. A fun artist thing on side of road

And then we went to the solar generator. See below for a quick drone movie.

Today we are going to California. Wow that’s a sentence I won’t say a lot… Death Valley area for a few days.

Oh and we upped the picture game with a new camera.

Picked up a Cannon EOS m50 so we will see it that does better pics.

Actually that’s the iPhone cause we didn’t get camera till after dark. :).

Well I just got a job offer…

While SHE is touring and tasting yet an other distillery ( no complaints at all) I thought it would be fun to run a “fire no fire” simulation and training. I kinda did well. But was expecting a tourist thing and it wasn’t. So was fun and I aced it so well the manager was called down to try and recruit me. But I regressed from vacation mode to work mode way too quick. So I said thanks but no and went for a beer in the speakeasy. Got to say though my double tap skills are very impressive.

One more day in Vegas and we bounce. Loving the strip and all the stuff but 45$ for 2 breakfast burritos… we did the buffet yesterday 100$ for 2. The prices on the strip are just high. You’re paying for the lights. Considering non strip stay when we come back in 3 weeks.

And work peeps. They were that impressed with my Deescalation… Can you imagine how you would do…

Guess where?

Ok so the thing that I get out of this picture is once again I have put lots of thought into my wardrobe. I flew in a local Harley shirt. But since we are now here I wear a location shirt. Today I am rocking a Scotland. Tomorrow will be an Ontario…

The import thing is you will notice I am wearing my “I’m a silly tourist” backpack.

So all my work on shirt choosing is for naught.

Whatever happens in Vegas…

Our room is dated but fine. We are way up and have a view of the strip. Can see snow on mountains so guess we arnt completely done with snow yet. 3 hours behind so we will be going to bed real early today. Tomorrow is a don’t know day. Could be fun, could be quiet. We haven’t decided really. The roaming part of the trip starts Wed when we head towards Death Valley.

We both need some relax time so tomorrow might be that or we might do things. We will know when we do it. I have plans for most everyday but next two, they are unwind days.
