At Nellis AFB they have a "down under" club (supersonic below sea level). A friend got caught at this and there was hell to pay for a few minutes. I know when we have traveled from DV to the Owen Valley and back over the Panamints, we will get buzzed by jets through the passes. The first time it happened I thought the car windows would blow out. Just good clean fun...it gets lonely out there. http://www.kencarney.com/Places_HTML/tif_0017.htm Linhof Technica, 135mm Schneider, TMP Las Vegas is basically a big scab on the desert, but it is an easy trip from anywhere to rent a car and head out to the fun places (Death Valley, Zion or whatever). The links were DV images taken in January, when you get some nice clouds if you are fortunate. As far as the models are concerned, I have heard some amazing stories from the young gals at the bar. I have thought about doing a portfolio of them, but first is a portfolio of LV wedding chapels. A drive-through with an Elvis is high on the list.
