Twin Falls, Idaho

In Vegas, winterized, heading north tomorrow

Bouse, Laughlin, Lake Mojave, Kingman

The white spec in the centre is the Bounder.  The white specs at the bast of the mountains is Bouse...

This one's Wendy's favourite gnarly tree.  Depending on the angle, its a duck or an eagle or a swan or a dragon or pretty much anything else you want.  She's been at the hooch down here, though...

Guess where?  I missed the Needles Highway turn so we went round the long way.  

Anyone know what this would be worth?  The tailgate says Ford, the fender says 6x6.  Yep, both rear axles are dualies.  Sorry about the crappy pic.  

Katherine's Landing, Lake Mead NRA, just north of Bullhead City.  $10 for an 8 day entry pass, and $10/night camping (no hookups of course, but showers and dump).  Good place to stay sometime, but a boat would be a real bonus (they do rent them there - houseboats too).  

Being raised in BC, I can drive twisty roads and take pictures too.  Back in the old days I may have had a smoke and a (really old days) beer going, too!  

Day trip to Wickenburg

Yup, knew that.  Next question.  

This one's for Josh - guess what kinda tree?  Sorry about the background...

Wildlife.  Made me miss Alberta... for about 3 seconds...

Vic liked the Hwy 97/96 portion.  Others, not so much...

Rocks and more rocks.  We kept an eye out for Wiley Coyote with a pry bar, but all were safe.  

We took a vote and we think that's snow, but we didn't go closer to investigate.  Yuck.  

Congress to Wickenburg... GREAT road, great view.  Go the other direction to give the passenger the best benefit, though, and hug the shoulder.  

Back around Bouse.  Dark clouds all round all day, but only 25 drops on the windshield.  

Sorry, but I really like the old gnarly things.  Maybe cuz I are one.  

Not much doing these days, so here's a few random pics...

In retrospect, maybe she should have put the hooch glasses down first...

17 bucks for the Bacardi, and 28 bucks for the Myers (it's a premium rum).  Both 1.75 litre.  Seriously??  

Yep, another rare sunrise photo.  This time it was actually me who was up early!
