Carpet of the MGM Grand: there was about a kilometre of gaming
between our hotel room and an exit

Carpet of the MGM Grand: some days it was just better to look at this
than take in the gamers gaming...

Zabriskie Point


During the planning of our trip to Death Valley, Dan Bourke screened Zabriskie Point at PICA. This site is on the way Furnace Creek - where we stayed. It is the off-season for visiting this area. Only European couples in matching outfits were there. We went to Zabriskie Point at sunset in an attempt to avoid heat.

Driving in the Desert

This is our Red Fusion. We drove it from Anaheim to Baker to Furnace Creek, Death Valley

















It is a good red car, even though most of the things are on the wrong side.



I thought we left amazing fake rocks behind in Disneyland, until I saw these on the side of the freeway.


Scott driving on the wrong side of the road. He is an awesome driver in any country.





86m below sea level. Being below sea level in summer is a bad idea.

the desire to write names on things knows no limits
