strange things grow on the ET HWY

Welcome to Nevada

Lovely Little River

We Are Headed to the Mountains

I kept looking for the perfect Joshua Tree but this ended up being the photo I liked best.

This Was the Weirdest Sign for a Grocery Store

In the saddest most depressed town we have ever seen.

It appears their only employer was a salt/mineral plant. That's it.

The Hoover Dam

Just a completely overwhelming structure. Really hard to imagine what it took to build this in the 30's. How people could think on such a huge scale. My mind thinks in little ways. My husband thinks in big ways. I am the safety monitor and he is the mad scientist.

Hoover Dam From the SIde

I sort of like this because of the shadows from the transmission line towers.

Hoover Dam Turbines

Back Side of the Dam

Rebel Without a Cause

They print this warning just for people like my husband. He really wants to be standing on the edge freaking me out. You can see - he has that look on his face.

This Was the Closest We Came to the Famed Long Horn Sheep

Bridge Across the Hoover Dam in the Making

The beginning of the bridge across the Hoover Dam. This is going to be the largest concrete bridge in the US. So these two arms will eventually meet in the middle - if everyone did their math right.

Gas Prices Make Up For Your Losses at the Casino (sort of)

When was the last time you saw a 2 at the beginning of the price for a gallon of gas?

Only in Vegas baby!

3 Horses

This was taken in a spot that I had been thinking about for 6 years. However, the image that I wanted didn't turn out but this one did. I'll take what I can get.

Mono Lake with Log

Just a pretty picture. 

Mono Lake and My Personal Very Handsome and Loyal Sherpa

Here is the beautiful Mono Lake. We didn't realize what time it was or we would not have stopped - cause we were running late. But so glad we did. Light was perfect and Eric, as always, was willing to schlep my camera crap around. 

Hot Springs On The Way

We were driving and saw some steam coming off the ground and with a little trespassing we found that there was a hot spring there. Eric said it was really hot, smelled bad, but tasted okay.

I took his word on that.
