back from vacation

... and it was just what I needed.

Road trip to Vegas, taking "lesser traveled" highways, and speeding in a rental with my pal, Trevor. On the way down, we checked out the Utah Salt Flats and stole some rocks from Bryce Canyon. Really, damn beautiful scenery.

Lightning storms like crazy in southern Utah. Flash flooding, fires, etc. Wish I had some better action pics of that stuff. Ridiculously hot in Vegas - the car thermostat's record was 116. Construction delays at Hoover Dam gave me a new appreciation for air conditioning. Found time to do some coasters, wait about 2 hours for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, and get fairly drunk while stumbling around casinos.

Drove straight through on the way back. Realized that rural desert "towns" have some really, really, really creepy shit in them.

All pics here.

Oh man, great pics. The "Eddie" gas station one is definitely my vote for creepiest.
