This post will be the final post to the blog. :)
 |
The City of Dallas! |
 |
A turnpike? The Republicans are taking your money! Call in the Tea Party Express! |
 |
A Texas oil field! See all the people manning the rigs? See all the jobs being created? No? Neither do we. |
 |
Texas: 107 degrees. Yet another reason I won't live in this damn state. |
 |
Look at that! Texas bought Memphis and moved it! |
 |
Robinson's Bales and Bling: Because cowhands need to look fly for the honeys. |
 |
A Texas freeway. (It doesn't matter which one; they all look like this.) |
 |
Texas landscape! (It doesn't matter where; it all looks like this.) |
 |
New Mexico! (Not Pictured: Rob and Erica pulling over to present their asses to the state of Texas.) |
 |
New Mexico Desert! |
 |
Got Photo Bombed by a fucking semi. Asshat! |
 |
Desert! Lots of it! |
 |
Pretty Desert! |
 |
More Pretty Desert! (It's not an oxymoron. I swear it's not.) |
 |
Arizona roadway. |
 |
Approaching Flagstaff, AZ! |
 |
Trees in the desert? The New York Times is on it! |
And now the photos from the Grand Canyon
(Finally!)
 |
Keep Right Except to Pass. I'm not sure if this is a road sign or commentary on the state of Congress. |
 |
Wait. THIS is the Grand Canyon?! We drove 2000 miles for this?! Oh fuck that! We're going home. |
 |
Oh wait. Maybe that wasn't it. |
 |
Wow! A big hole in the ground. |
 |
Look at what water did to the Earth. This is why I drink soda. |
 |
Grand Canyon, yo! |
 |
If you look closely, you can see a faint white line down there. That's a trail to get to the bottom. |
 |
Looking towards the West End of the canyon. |
 |
Erica grew metallic wings on the trip. |
 |
Looking up one of the many offshoot canyons. |
 |
Is it just me, or does this shot make the canyon look like it's under water? |
 |
Rob ignoring the "stay on the path" signs. |
 |
A hipster photo bombing Erica. |
 |
This shot helps give some perspective on how far down the canyon goes. |
 |
Unobstructed view looking west. |
 |
Strata. |
 |
What kind of insane people would climb down onto the outcropping? |
 |
These Kind! (Yeah, that's a sheer cliff behind us.) |
 |
I like this picture. |
 |
Arizona desert and mountains. And a truck. |
 |
PST! |
After the Grand Canyon, we headed towards Vegas. But first a quick stop at Hoover Dam.
 |
One of the statues at the Hoover Dam. |
 |
Memorial Plaque. |
 |
Hoover Dam, Hoover Dam, Fucking Hoover Dam (That's for you, Ashley.) |
 |
From the top of the dam looking towards Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. |
 |
Looking down the face of the dam. |
 |
Poor Herbert Hoover. Known for Hoovervilles and the single-most-environmentally-destructive public works project in United States History. |
 |
Looking straight down! |
 |
Lake Mead! (Heh, heh: mead...) |
 |
A picture of Rob in Arizona taken by Erica in Nevada. |
 |
State line. |
 |
Memorializing the workers' dog. |
 |
The Strip in the day. |
 |
Eiffel Tower: Vegas Style. |
 |
The fountains at the Bellagio. |
 |
The Vegas strip at dusk. |
 |
Notice all the cars are coming into Vegas? |
 |
New York, Vegas Style. (Saw the real one: it's better). |
 |
Excalibur! |
 |
The Luxor. |
 |
Rob and the Strip. |
 |
I wanted to stay at this hotel. Erica wasn't having it. |
