Joshua Trees

Ok, I need to catch you all up.

The arid landscape where California meets Nevada is punctuated with Joshua Trees, the flats end with enormous mountains which in winter are covered in snow...impressive. So much here is big and I know I am going getting the slightest taste but the majesty of the Californian mountains beginning at Pasadena, WOW.
The trip from LA was so smooth, guided by Ova and steered by yours truly (ok, Hell was also backing up with some google maps) but we glided from freeway to freeway to find ourselves amidst the Joshua Trees. Interestingly we discovered our hire van had 14 cup holders, considering it was a 6 seater we felt it was a little excessive but you just never know how many big gulps your gonna need on the road. It was these things we considered as we hit Las Vegas...(listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-qN6TCY85c) Dang guys it is hot out here...I'm talkin about 40 degrees at noon. So hot, so dry, reminds me of Christmas time in Mildura.
The phenomenon of Vegas appeared like you all have told me it would, a city jutting unnaturally out of the desert. Exploring 'The Strip' like any good tourist we marveled at the lights, beauty and attraction that is the thin veneer for the grog, gambling and porn. Tonight (Tuesday) Ova and Sugar are at the MGM Grand (la di dah!), Dr Hell and newly joined to the crew King Cam are at Hooters (yes Hooters) and Mel and I are at an old dame of a casino, Tropicana. We still haven't sighted Fair-as and his bro who are also apparently at the Trop...they lurk here somewhere. As we lay our tired heads down to sleep we'll be dreaming of the track, I think now, we are ready to roll at Rollercon.
