Epic Road Trip

So we left this morning at 5:00 am for a trip to Vegas. It turns out that Nevada is really fucking cool, in case some people were unaware. (Also check Behind Doors: The Adventure for an update as well) Juliet, Sean and I visited some truly awe inspiring places. I'll detail the places with minimal words and a bunch of pictures.




Our first stop took us to an abandoned minesite. We simply saw it as we were driving through Luning and decided it looked fun. The structure sitting above the mine was mostly in tact, probably only abandoned within the past 30 40 years. We did not explore the mine part, only the structures really.








After conquering that amazing site we were on our way again. A thick fog engulfed the road and we passed a sign saying "Goldfeild Cemetery". My photographic senses prickled and we turned around and went. Our results are below.





The next stop was the famously haunted Goldfeild Hotel in Goldfeild Nevada. The building was incredibly hard to find an entrance to, but incredibly worthwhile.









After that we drove for quite a while ending up in Rhyolite Nevada. This is the most photographed ghost town in America. Which is ironic, because I got very few pictures while I was there. We're headed back sometime soon when we'll have more time to explore.


Sean took this one



Please click on this one and watch it. It's relatively short and pretty. It's a montage of the trip from start to finish. Time lapse photography thing.
