Last night I got caught up in the storm, and with the flash flood warning looming, I decided to splurge on a cheap motel. I took a shower, did some laundry, got some rest, and was up ready to go the next morning.
It took me less than an hour to flag a ride out of Kingman. It was my first ride in the back of a pickup, and this is where stuff got crazy. We skirted a storm just barely, and I got a little water on my new jacket. Then the scenery came out.
For more than an hour, I was treated to some awesome storms, mountains, lakes, and some cool people driving around us. The crazy thing is that out there, in the wide spaces, the size of the clouds, the storms, the mountains, is so much different. You see the whole of the storm, you can see it tearing up the side of a mountain. You can see the shadows of the clouds passing over the barren plains. The perspective is so amazing out there. And besides a few bike riders, I was the only one who could see all of this unobstructed. No barriers for me, just atmosphere. Trust me friends, its the tits.
After my drivers bought me some ice cream at Dairy Queen, they took me into Vegas and dropped me off where I was planning to stay for the night. Turns out the room that was supposed to be $15 was actually $100, so I needed a new place to stay. I located a hostel on the other side of town, so I grabbed a bus down the strip.
In case you didn't know (I didn't), Las Vegas is one of the coolest towns ever (if you had asked me I could have guessed). Driving down the strip, on the top of a double-decker bus, all I could think about is how I want to come back to this city with a million dollars in my pocket and do everything, and see all the shows. I could blow a lot of time in this town.
Seriously, I love this place
So after I got across town, I shacked up at the hostel. They are pretty nice here, but they kind of have a nickle and dime you attitude. After setting up I met some folks in my room, and we all went and grabbed pizza. So now here I sit, waiting for tonight when we will all go and hop clubs, a scenario that will be pretty foreign to me. Tomorrow we will go to a pool party, and then I will be going to see Penn and Tellers show, and then meet them, and then I can die.
Will try to update tomorrow. Later.
Once I'm a billionaire we can go blow a few mil in Vegas
