DX from .

     The pictures below were from one of my first trips out west for no particular reason. I stopped by Hoover Dam and snapped a few pics when I had the chance. I also tossed in a picture of the dam itself for those of you interested. I had alot of fun on this trip and met some really great friends. Since then I’ve kind of decided that travelling is definately still coursing through my veins after growing up as an army brat. Now that I own a New Beetle ? It’s just that much easier. This trip marked the beginning of ALOT of cross country fun for me and Bug3! We’re old regulars at Hoover Dam now, and have even reached as far as Los Angeles. Next big milestone will be from one coast to another, water to water. I think that will make for a fun trip. I’m just not sure if I want to do New England to Southern California, or Florida to Washington… Any suggestions ?     The bottom picture of the sun setting over the colorado river, I think came out really very well. I submitted this to and got listed as the picture of the week even !! I’m going to try to get a few more stylish shots like this over time! I think alot of folks who do alot of driving don’t get to really enjoy the scenery and the activities happening around them. It’s nice to stop on the side of the road every once and a while and watch the sun set in a new place or a different set of colors… I mean, if we don’t appreciate the things happening around us, why do we even bother changing locations ? Right ?
