Beautiful pictures..certainly makes me want to see more of my own country. thanks for sharing.

Is it where they filmed Close Encounters?

Great job so far, guys! I seem to be checking in a few times a day now to see any new pictures, as my envy grows. LOL.

When I first read your planned route, I thought you guys were completely nuts. So much ground to cover, so little time. But you seem to be pulling it off so far. Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see more. Be well and cheers, guys!

Glad to finally see some pics lads.

Keep 'em comin' and remember,

Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.

Helloes.

Another day full of joy and merriment.

We left Dulce, NM this "morning" and drove through some incredible sights across Apache land. We then made a brief requisite stop in Roswell and proceeded to West Texas where we had a fantastic dinner with Spencer Tracy of BTS MIX fame. Ian ate some super spicy buffalo wings and fun was had by all.

We then dodged about fifty deer night driving to today's final stop in San Angelo Texas.

The guys will be in later to post some really good pics.

Here's today's itinerary for those who are keeping track.

Oh, and I have another short "secret" vid for you.



Big Love to everyone.

Awesomeness SDog! Love the videos!


- Carrot

Thanks for the update, SDog

The videos are awesome

"I don't know where the boys are - I think they went to the sink hole"

That's a tag-line for a horror movie if ever I heard one!

Great updates on your fantastic voyage - as for Aliens, check the video ... it's behiiiiiiiiind you!!!!!

Thanks for the video updates SchroDog.

More Pictures...

The bulk of this portion of our journey was traveling through New Mexico and starting the long road through Texas...so the majority of pictures are scenic and/or novelty based....though we did take some pictures of some interesting morning sky activity that Ian will post at some point as a Chemtrail thread...

Echo Ampitheatre in New Mexico...









I am very concerned for America and their very sanity regarding the types of conspiracies they focus on and how they focus on them...



Case in point - Roswell (which really is a kietchy little town with horribly generic gift shops and what was probably a half-arsed museum that was closed when we arrived. I did like the alien renderings of the street lamps though... )











The Sunset on literally the New Mexico/Texas border....



Random Nighttime shot, taken mostly to test the night capabilities of the camera...



That's it for now guys...perhaps later I'll get a chance to post the few obligatory shots from Dulce but there really isn't much to speak of from that part of town. Finding the underground base would likely require many days of hiking and there just wasn't time for that on this trip.

And some MORE great pictures!!! They look awesome! (I would one day like to check out Roswell, even if it is over-touristy just to say that I went).

I love the picture of that sunset.

(is reminded that she needs to travel more)

MemoryMcLeansDog in Dulce

SchroDog, can you post a map at the end of the that shows the entire route. Would be cool to see..

Loving the pictures and the sunset is a beauty for sure.

I've been tracking them in Google Earth ... I suppose I could figure out how to save and upload that as a file

edit: of course, that would only be helpful if you have Google Earth

I really appreciate the trip you guys are taking and the efforts made to keep us all informed of the cool sites you have visited. Looked like some orbs in that last picture above.

Jeeze, will you two let this guy hold the puppy for a while.

or at least let him call shotgun.


Great stuff, guys.

Did you get a shot of the bottom of the Ampitheatre, perchance ?

Seen any wildlife ?

Hello, everyone!

Just wanted to let you guys know that our fearless trio made it to Houston safe, sound and with most of their limbs still intact. I had the pleasure of sharing a wonderful meal with MemoryShock, Ian and Schro-Dog and can honestly attest to the fact that they * cough, cough * are perfect gentlemen.

There were several things we all shared in common. An addiction to ATS, our love for virtual drinks at the FCP and a strange penchant for pink nail polish. Needless to say, the food and drink were good, but the laughter, conversation and camaraderie were excellent.

Cheers!

Thanks for the update, Maria, and glad you all had a good time together

The above surprises me somewhat; I would have guessed Mr. Shock to be more of a black-polish guy, SDog for a buffed look, and Ian as a natural-nails purist.

I'll have to make sure there's no overly snarky and/or T&C violating commentary, figure out the whole saving google earth files thing, and find somewhere to upload it.

Anyone know if the media center will take kml or kmz files?

And guys, when you check in, if you don't want me to do this for some reason, let me know. It'll basically be just the cities you've been to in a general way (e.g., LA for Shock and mystery lady, Bay Area for Ian, Houston for Maria, Reno for spacedoubt) with links to your update posts on ATS, the route taken (which I've been getting by asking Google for directions and then verifying against SDog's maps) and maybe some wiki or other links if I get ambitious or bored.
