Nice pics, man. Glad you made it home alright, and it was good to meet you guys.

[nfpgasmask]

Likewise dude! As you can see, we did stop off at Crystal Peak. It's pretty neat. But man, it is OUT THERE. My wife was a little nervous. To have a breakdown out there could be seriously bad. Its about 40 miles off the already desolate highway 50, down a dirt road with NOTHING and NO ONE. We did see a bunch of pronhorns though, which was cool cause I have never seen one of those in the wild before.

Ever see The Hills Have Eyes? My wife would freak out 30 miles before we got there.

[nfpgasmask]

LOL, I have been trying to get my wife to watch the following 3 movies, back to back:

The Hills Have Eyes (original)
Deliverance
Southern Comfort

All three of these films are about as disturbing and violating as you can get.

But even still, she was a little freaked out when we drove out to Crystal Peak. The best part was, on the way out, an Apache Helicopter flying only about 200 feet up flew right past us. I wish I would have gotten a shot of that...

You have to add "Race with the devil" to that list of distubing camping films!

[nfpgasmask]

Ooooo, I haven't heard of that one!

Haha Zeus!

That is a quote from an old 80's movie called "Armed & Dangerous (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090660/)" with John Candy and Eugene Levy. In the very beginning the old guy says, "The world is a $h1thole, filled with $h1tty little scumbags who are scared $h1tless".

For some reason that line stuck with me, and for some reason that is what I titled my LJ way back when I started it, in Chicago, where the world kinda is pretty much a $h1thole. Since moving out west though, it has been quite a different experience, and I probably could change the title of my journal to reflect how much I feel better.

I saw "Race with the Devil" as a TV movie when pretty young,(teenager or something). Wow, at that age, it freaked me out. Good one for those of you that like that type. But I never thought of trying to find it on video. Now I will have to look for it.

Great shots! I wish I was there!.. I hope someday I will have enough money and time to be able to make a world roundtrip on VX :-) If my VX still be alive...

Asa...there is always an open seat! Just bring the credit card for food, a sleeping bag and a tent and your set! Hope to see you in May! :thumbup:
