Last Sunday a group of us Las Vegans took our VW's out for a spin in Red Rock Canyon. It was a blast! Click on the picture above for a whole slew of pictures from the Mojave Desert. The weather was beautiful with temps in the upper 80's and a ton of sun! ;D Thanks to Tom Carsten from the German Steel VW Club for organizing this event! Enjoy the pictures!

There are some great views to be had for sure! I wanted soooo bad to be in my bug driving around there. You have some cools shots there. I even had a burro stick his head in the rental car.

As for the Burros, I've never had any become that friendly with me, but they are solid animals. I think I made the comment on one of those photos that a burro would probably do some serious damage at 60 MPH! Luckily, they steered clear of us that day. ;D I wacked a deer in an Astro van a few years back when I lived in NY, and it wasn't pretty! The weather was perfect though! A slight breeze, not the normal Vegas winter winds that can be a royal pain in the EYES with the dust. All in all, a VERY enjoyable time!

(That's from the population explosion and lack of snowfall in the Colorado Rocky Mountians.) Other than that, I LOVE IT!!! ;D Scott Faivre |
