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?

Excellent photos. Those abandoned buildings are beautiful. I wish I could take exactly the same road trip!

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.

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?????
