This sucks….I’m sick! I woke up this morning with a fever, cold sweats, and a sore throat….aaahhhhh!!! But, I’m sucking it up, dragging my butt out of bed, overdosing on meds, and heading out to Bally’s to check out the album competition. Hopefully I won’t pass out or infect too many people along the way.
On Thursday I decided that I was going to do an “Adventure Tour” and rent an ATV to go check out Red Rock Canyon just outside of Vegas. I was hoping that it would be a lot of fun and I’d get some cool shots. Well, the brochure made it look a lot more rugged and crazy then it was, with sand flying in the air and huge mountains and hills to ride over. I guess they know how to market themselves, huh? It was still a lot of fun and beat hanging out in the casino losing my money. I really wanted to get a self-portrait of me riding on the ATV but I wasn’t even allowed to take pictures while we were riding! I never do think about safety when it comes to taking pictures, but I guess it was a good thing they didn’t let us.
Here are some shots of well…..red rocks!
Here’s a shot of Naomi….a fellow off-roader from Chicago.
Like a true genius tourist from the East Coast, I decided to wear flip-flops on our off-roading adventure. And just when I couldn’t appear any more intelligent, I accidently kicked this cactus while I was walking. I tried to play it off like a tough guy while I spent the next 10 minutes pulling a few needles out of my toe.
Yeah, so….this is what happens when someone offers to take your picture with your Canon 5D. I should’ve checked the LCD, huh? At least he captured that beautiful sky!!! And to those family members out there that know what my dad looks like: I know, I’m freaked out too.
Now, it’s off to the pharmacy!
