These are some of the photos I took at Fremont Street in Las Vegas on
Saturday night. I think downtown is my new favorite place to stay in
Vegas. The casinos are all closer together and walking around under
the huge neon roof is cool.
This afternoon we took a drive out to Hoover Dam. It's only about 39 miles from Vegas. Again, as soon as I have a proper wireless connection I'll post some shots from my real camera.
There are lots of design details at the dam that really mark it as a product of the 1930s. I'm glad we went. On the way back we also stopped at an antique shop in Boulder City and I found a few era appropriate vintage Real Photo Postcards of the dam. I should be able to scan them when I get back home.
I have some better pics I took with my Sony. When I get an internet connection I'll post them. Lots of folks dressed up in costume here for Halloween.
This afternoon I drove just over 100 miles or so on the Blue Ridge
Parkway. I entered in North Carolina, just before the Virginia border.
Then exited at Roanoke, VA.
I tried to send this when I was on the road, but as usual versamail failed. I decided to skip the construction on I 95, so I'm on Hwy 17 headed towards Savannah. Saw this sign at an antique shop. The owner said it's been on Leno and Regis. :)
Before walking into a shop on Main Street, it was extremely sunny and dry. Five minutes I walked out to find it had rained like crazy and then stopped.
The Halloween decorations look great. Tonight is also one of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween parties as well so lots (and I mean LOTS) of guests are dressed up in Halloween costumes.
I just left Jensen Beach and am heading back to Vero Beach on A1A. It's one lane in each direction with a 45 mile an hr speed limit. There was a truck tailgating behind me so I took the next beach turn-off and found this gloriously empty beach. A1A is what separates the Intercoastal waterway from the Atlantic ocean. So after snapping the beach shots and getting my feet wet again, I walked across the hwy and took the pics of the Intercoastal. I did NOT dip my feet there as it smelled a bit funky.
I've been here nearly a week and it's only just occurred to me I can work OUTSIDE.
I love road trips. I also love to document them with photos and commentary so I have something to look back on when I'm sitting at home and don't have any immediate plans to be someplace else. Over the past several years I've made multiple cross-country drives between Los Angeles and Boston, and for the moment I'm settled in Boston. I get out of town when I can and when I do, I'll be posting my trip photos here. Please feel free to subscribe and comment!
