New Mexico

US Army car.

US Border Patrol, this time didn't bother with me at all, I encountered them a number of times. Maybe I fit in just well unless of course I start speaking English.

My eyes have been seen a lot of it lately -- miles and miles of endless road.

Hightech voting system in NM.

This is exactly why I had to tape off the front of my car.

Arizona

Sat, September 06 2008 — f1vlad

Southeastern Arizona, nice view.

Headed towards New Mexico.

Douglas,NM, unknown (to me) brand of the car with police kind of paint scheme.

Mexicans. What always puzzles me when I am next to Mexican border is amount of Mexican cars bringing tons of junk back home. I guess the only explanation would be that stuff they get here is cheaper than there. I would think it'd be otherwise. Some stuff they bring is evidently from junk yards and yard sales but some stuff is brand new.

USA/Mexico border in Douglas,AZ.

Douglas,AZ -- entering Mexico.

Entire I-10 full of these things crossing the streert :) whatever they're called.

A veiw from CIRCUS CIRCUS.

Extraterrestrial Hwy,Nevada

Tue, September 02 2008 — f1vlad

The closer you get to Groom Lake, more alien attractions you see.

NV375 also (officially) known as Extraterrestrial Highway.

Some sort of Alien Research Centre. Too bad it was closed on the day I was passing by.

Mailbox known as "black mailbox", a marker or a sign to make a turn to the dirt road, that leads to Groom Lake Road.

Someone's camping some 2 miles from the gate to Area 51.

Another shot of the "black mailbox".

Extraterrestrial Highway.

I really thought this town was bigger than it really is.

Nice invitation to passers-by, actually a pretty decent cheap bar, and seems to be the only place to buy a drink in town.

Read more about trip to Area 51.

More California

Mon, September 01 2008 — f1vlad

San Luis Obispo,CA.

All the fields remind me of Ukraine.

Getting ready for off-roading.

Somewhere in Central California.

Somewhere in Central California (cont.).

Out in Manhattan Beach, very tiny streets but everything is built quite nicely.

Some residents have to be quite good at parking.

Look in the mirror, that's typical LA traffic :(.

California

Very early morning right above San Francisco Golden Gate bridge.

Little did I know how long a drive it was meant to be.

Wyoming

Sun, August 24 2008 — f1vlad

Wyoming is a beautiful state, not as empty as I thought.

Wyoming State Trooper.

Wyoming country side.

And lastly, in WY it was 41 degrees in the mountains with visible snow, feels nice in the middle of the summer.
