SMdoubleXL Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 What I wish I could have captured was -the thickness of the stars as they came out. Not a light in sight but the stars. Then the moon came out. Washed away half of the stars but provided enough light that we didn’t need a flashlight to walk up to the tub. The old man had tucked away in his trailer and was fair enough distance from the tub (I didn’t care either way) and we soaked in the at tub in complete silence under the light of the moon. There was nothing I have ever experienced to match this. sleep was amazing that night. the cows were back eating across the way. Cool enough in the morning for a soak before it got to hot out. The old man dipped very early so in we went. joined by a news kind of fishing bird. There was a lil school of gold fish swimming in that small current coming off of that tub IMG_5159.MOV When it started getting warm out I went about thigh deep in the larger pond the lil fish swam around your feet IMG_5162.MOV this fade IMG_5169.MOV outside Under the tarp set up I imagine a cow stepped on this frog there were BIG goldfish in this pond 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMdoubleXL Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 After the mushrooms wear off we notice the herd we saw at a distance earlier had made its way to the marshy spot down the way and joined the other, smaller herd. naturally I get a lil closer FullSizeRender.mov then I realize what I have in front of me the new herd that joined are bulls. Aggressive young testosterone filled bulls IMG_5206.MOV The road was no longer a barrier. These mother fuckers advanced quickly. And it escalated to a point where we diced to grab the most valuable bags out of the tent and get in the fucking car we advanced the car and they didn’t care but I had a feeling we were about to lose our campsite/gear to a herd of wild bulls the got within 100 ft and I thought I was about to have a heart attack because even the car wasn’t shit against these bulls There were two lead bulls and it was obvious which ones they were Idk what happened but last minute something steered them away and they walked out of sight. IMG_5212.MOV We continued our night just hangin and dippin a lil. Saw a live frog IMG_5203.MOV the bats rolled in again but we’re definitely more curious of us this night as opposed to last. IMG_5226.MOV I know we lost our mind when we decided to stay another night. But trust. ANY fucking sound outside woke us up. (Or so we hoped) woke up and cleaned up real good. Muddied up the fire pit to make sure it was all the way out. saw them green patches on the way out my heart is pounding writing about them fucking bulls. I reached a level of nerves I didn’t know existed in my body. Hahahaha 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMdoubleXL Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 as we continue down towards Las Vegas. As much as we want to check out all the towns along the 95 -we really just wanted to get to our destination. But we stopped for a few quick stops. just flat made me wonder how long it’s been since I’ve had a tetanus shot sand dunes much excite FullSizeRender.mov I’m already miserable but first things first. and later on… next morning was planned for ‘exploring’ an abandoned casino construction site. was a hot spot literally and figuratively so I opt for the ole “I’ll drop you guys off and roll back in a few hours” so naturally… but the dude in front of me had this in his window. Disturbing. I’m pretty sure they have died from heat exhaustion This boy got fat 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Its that time of year again. Camping season is upon us. The week long mushroom hunting and wilderness Shenanigans commence in t-minus 14 hours. Will be outta cell range the whole time. See ya when I get back. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 What a crapper of a year. It was a really dry season in the mountains so none of the wild life was poppin off like previous years. As soon as we got our tent city set up, it started raining. And it rained every day the whole time we were up there. It stopped raining long enough for us pack our shit up and bounce. Here's the one cool mushroom I found on our way out. It looked like coral 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMdoubleXL Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Mothers Day 2017-the kid treated us to the Neon Boneyard. It’s a guided tour with a slim time window so I snapped every angle I could. i lived in Vegas 1989-2017 and I wished I paid more attention so I could recognize some signs Edited December 9, 2022 by SMdoubleXL 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMdoubleXL Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 I believe this was the face for Treasure Island Hotel and casino. (Last I knew it was TI) and the whole pirate theme went out the window. I think. I have an old shot of this when they were setting it to this location. Had no idea at the time what was going on. I’ll have to dig it up. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMdoubleXL Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 glad I was able to see some of these signs when they were up and in action. Grateful to connect with them in this manner just a few months before moving out of Vegas. these were all shot with my Nikon D 3100 with a $19 wide angle lens adapter i could also probably stand to edit some photos but these have no edit.

Pool playing elvis is awesome im guessing they had to find a place to put all the old retired signs. The locals love them old signs and the city loves money. Plus a spot to store them.
