We sneak in a quick walk on national forest land off 395 north of Mono Lake. - IMG_0256.JPG
VEGAS! What a magical place. I've said enough hateful things about the city of sin during previous trips, so I'll try to hold my tongue. - IMG_0257.JPG
The highlight of our Vegas interlude was lunch at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill. As you surely know, Bobby Flay is a wildly famous celebrity chef with approximately 4 billion restaurants and 18 shows on the Food Network. - IMG_0258.JPG

Bryan gambles! - IMG_0311.JPG
It's really boring. He stops after $3. - IMG_0686.JPG
Sous sits, eerily human-like, in the back seat. - IMG_0688.JPG
On our way through Tahoe, we introduced Sous to the snow for the first time. - IMG_0694.JPG

You'll also see lots of random scenery pictures which we shoot from inside the car because we are lazy. Here are the Sierras as seen from 395. - IMG_0727.JPG

National Park the first: Death Valley. We speculatively bought a year pass for $80, and ended up saving money before the trip was over. - IMG_0759.JPG
National parks don't let dogs *anywhere*. They basically have to stay in the car at all times. Here we are flagrantly violating those regulations at an overlook of Death Valley. - IMG_0761.JPG
More death. - IMG_0764.JPG
This valley was probably more deadly before they had the highway going through it. - IMG_0766.JPG
