Looks like quite a trip. I have to make it out that way someday.

No one is coming stronger with the pics than you, drunk. Always enjoy the hell out of your trip posts.
So... How many of those 1,600 miles were racked up at Alien? |

Great pictures, I really enjoyed looking through them. I still don't understand how you can drive all over the desert without getting your car covered with dust. Look at that, you're even going offroad! Is this a new feature for the 2016 models? Dust-proofing?
You're a brave soul, wandering through that cholla. I hate those things so much. For those that don't know, the plants are made of spike balls which jump off and attach themselves to any surface at the slightest provocation. Each spike has reverse spines that make them almost impossible to remove. Canvas, denim, shoe rubber, tire rubber, it doesn't care, cholla loves them all! |

I just went back and looked through your first four road trip threads. You have a really good eye behind the camera! Great job on all of them.
Have you ever been to Nothing? It's about halfway between Wickenburg and Kingman on Highway 93. They just built a cell phone tower there, so it's not quite as empty as it used to be. I always get a kick out of the sign. Why can't you? You're in the area! |

You need to compile all of your road trip pictures into one new mega thread and name it: The Drunken Adventures of Just Another.

We must be brothers from another mother! I love the same types of places that you do. Great pics!
Maybe you can post some pics of you outside the security gate at Area 51, as well as in Rachel, NV????? |
