On the road again! Cue a catchy little jingle or your favorite classic rock tune, because we packed up Vanti and headed out for an adventure for a couple days. You may have noticed that we made a stop in Glendale, Nevada, from the posts about the moos and bonus goats, but that was certainly not our final destination on this journey. For this particular fated evening, I was scheduled to make an appearance out in Mesquite, Nevada, a bit further down the road yet from Glendale. I hadn't realized at the time of accepting the gig that the destination was quite so far from our little metropolitan center in Vegas, and it took a wee little planning on our parts to make it work, but it was well worth it! Mesquite itself is a pretty small town, another 30 minutes or so past Valley of Fire heading North on the I-15. I was pleasantly surprised by how close it actually was, once we got moving on the freeway. While Vanti is a big girl, she's got a strong engine and can really get hauling when she's on the open roads! The drive out to Mesquite is full of familiar desert scenery, at least for me as a native Vegas kid, but there are some odd bits along the way. Keep an eye out for a giant bowling pin, would'ya dude?
The van has a bed in it for camping, so we didn't bother booking a room anywhere for the night. We planned to pack it in and head out towards Utah early the next morning, as the event I was going to took place late in the evening into the early morning. We left Vegas in the afternoon and the drive was pretty smooth- minimal traffic, no major construction... like I said above, most of the drive was familiar, especially the first majority of it since we've gone to Valley of Fire several times together now. Once we passed that fateful turn off, however, it got more interesting so that's where these photos pick up from. There's plenty more to see below, so keep scrolling!
Check back tomorrow for photos from Mesquite!

XOXO,
