Trying to catch the deluge in a paper cup

So, while I edited the photos to today's excursion, I listened to Duran Duran's Ordinary World and Come Undone, and while I post them here, I'm listening to Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House. Up next: Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence.

And away we go!

These are not in order of where we stopped today.

Derek and Nick climbed all the way up to the top of the Dunes to take their photos. I, however, didn't want to take the same pictures they did. So I wandered around elsewhere instead. And there Nick goes, trudging his way up those unbelievably difficult to walk dunes.

 Don't worry, dollface. I've opened the door for you. Ladies first into the murder truck!

And after the murder truck, I'll drag your corpse here, into my freshly methed out basement. You're going to love it here.

 Murder truck jokes aside, this is my favorite picture of the day. I love it so much.

 This field had a sign in front of it that said, "Scenic Point of Interest". Fucking TOTALLY. Who doesn't love a good field? Though I'm pretty sure there were antelope, not deer, all about the thing.

 I asked Derek to stop and pull over so I could take pictures of those turbines, which didn't really work out. While I was trying to get SOMETHING, Nick thought it would be fun to get his picture taken in the middle of the road, posed laying down while reading a magazine and drinking his energy drink as Derek took  his picture. I kept hearing "CAR!" every few minutes.

 I despise this photo, but it was the best of the fifteen picture bunch, and it was the closest to the angle I actually wanted. So I'm posting it, because of reasons. The...uh...one I just cited.

 I had to haul ass across the dunes to get to a good enough vantage point for this picture. My quads burn, and two hours hiking these bad boys is going to hurt like hell tomorrow, but it was so worth it.

 Your sign SAYS No Trespassing, you creepy, abandoned factory of some sort, but I know you want me.

 Eh. Just for texture clues. This building was wonderfully run down.

 Power lines! This was taken from the window, as the car rolled down the highway at a breezy 85 miles an hour. I'm pretty pleased with it, considering those variables.

 That's a rainbow in the corner, in case you had no idea what it was.

How woefully underexposed. :(

I'm fucking exhausted. It's 2:15, and I did so much walking and hiking and when I came home and took my clothes off, sand just poured out of everywhere. I'm going to turn on The Prophecy and crash the fuck out.
