Blog 28: The Fun is over, now the work begins…1100 miles driving a cage back home.
blog slightly out of order…but I wanted to do this blog for all the pretty photos. Laguna tomorrow…again.
+++
I wanted to do a little video and photo taking on my trip home. Las Vegas begs to be captured at night. And so I went riding.
+++
What is it about Clowns that makes them so “unsettling”?
+++
Up on curbs, in the middle of roadways…”You HAVE to stop at the best angle for the photo, Officer”…
I have that line ready. Haven’t used it yet as Vegas, like the Honey Badger**, don’t care about anything.
+++
Dusk was quite nice that night. I drove up on any curb or sidewalk I wanted. Nobody batted an eye.
+++
+++
Could you get a more American photo? Flag, Statue of Liberty, electric motorcycle…well maybe….
+++
Apple Pie…BOOM…for teh win!!!
+++
+++
Next stop…Nevada and the Hoover Dam.
+++
All the states I’ve visited have been so friendly…they all Welcome me. I take that as permission to park where I want….
+++
But not everybody agrees…
Parking here for about 20 seconds to dismount and take this photo and I received a “Stern” warning. Something about Federal Lands and I could get in big trouble. I wondered if the big trouble amounted to a 10 second warning by a rent a cop…but I just pretended not to speak English and drove off, with a polite wave back…trying to remember how many fingers are needed for a proper wave…
+++
Another area I was not supposed to stop at…but nobody bugged me. If they think I’m going to try and “harm” the dam, shouldn’t they stop me before I get onto the dam??
+++
Another Dam photo.
+++
+++
+++
I had a Dam good time. Sorry, it had to be done.
+++
+++
I had wanted to make one more stop…Meteor Crater. Sadly it was raining…HARD…both times I passed by….So that is saved for next trip.
So far I’ve ridden the Enertia in New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and California. Not bad for a city commuter 🙂

Till Next Time…
