Earache

Time to head back to Vegas and dodge the donkeys on the way....

Lotas of artifacts and junk left in the yard - old bed frames, cart frame, old plates and cups,...

Quick stop at the bottle house on the way outta town ...

Caboose has seen better days....

The wiring for the porch lighting looks legit and up to code....

Cool old railroad terminal on the hill ...

...

The vault is still standing at the bank ...

Mostly stone and concrete construction as there are no trees available for wood construction....

This town only lasted a couple of years and had some pretty decent buildings in town.....

And what this one has to do with a ghost town I don't know. At least the carpet matches the curtains...

Just a slight bit of off roading to get there. The town has some weird artwork - The Ghosts of Rhyolite ...

It's about 8:00 AM and already near 100F / 38C so I head north towards the ghost town of Rhyolite .....

I've dropped over 10,000 feet in elevation - almost 2 miles - from home to here......

Passed an abandoned old Opera House from years ago ...

Pointed the bike west and headed to Death Valley...

Up at 4:00 AM today and out on the bike to beat the heat. I swung by the Strip for a drive - it was largely empty ...

Join the club. It's criminal to have a tank that small.

How come the Peak District doesn't have any "peaks" in it? The Lake District has a few Lakes.

Nice pics - love places like that. How old are the buildings? Don't look to be super old.

With a top box?

See? I told you he was an old fucker!

I'm sure. He's pretty small now - no muscles at all really. Really thin legs, etc. But fuck - he's like 70 years old and still alive and playing well.

But George didn't disappoint - still one of the best guitarists out there ...

Anyway, last night was the reason I came to Vegas in the first place; to see George Lynch play at a local bar I like here. Cool place with a HD chopper above the bar. Was waiting on the barmaid's titty to fall out and lay waste to all of the beer bottles on the bar - but it didn't happen....
