Title: CANVAZ 2019
Post by: knightrider on October 29, 2019, 09:47:37 PM
Preface: I do not take alot of pictures, that is Steve and Joe's job. :D Since they didn't go, you all now must suffer with my limited account of events.

Thursday:
Jay, Jill and I met up with Steve at Bass Pro in Rancho Cucamonga and started our journey to NV, we had made reservations at Terrible's Casino in Jean, NV.  It was cheap and surprisingly not too terrible :D

Friday:
We woke up and Steve wasn't feeling so great so he was going to head back home, big bummer.
Jay, Jill and I had our complimentary breakfast at Denny's inside the casino then head off towards Las Vegas to pick up my trailer for the weekend.

We decided to stop at Valley of Fire State park along the way.

Once we arrived at the Clark County Fairgrounds we got settled in for the evening.

Organizers setup a night run, didn't get many pictures but it was a really fun challenging trail.
Some dunes lineup shot shot with my Samsung S9 in night mode, kinda cool that it actually picked up stars, not the sharpest since i had no tripod.
