Breakfast in Elko

Last night when I was out shooting, I spotted a little donut shop. Luckily, I remembered it this morning, groggy and lusting for coffee.
Verdict: Good coffee, and the cinnamon bun is out of this world, and an apple turnover is yet uneaten, but here are some photos (after the break):

Elko Nightlife

Zoo and I ate a family-style dinner at the Basque restaurant BilToKi. It was amazing. Very farm-style food. Started with a tomato/onion/cabbage soup, some awesome bread, then a trio of sides: Beans, Steamed (soft) veggies and some pasta with red sauce. Then came the meat (sorry for the quality – it’s a phone):

A perfect, giant-sized pair of [...]

Day 5: Elko

When you get out on the road with no specific destination, sometimes you have to make some hard decisions.  As we approached Bozeman two nights ago, it became clear that although Salt Lake City has great potential for “griefing” religious zealots (and/or corrupting young Mormans, Orgazmo style), it puts us in a tough spot.  We [...]

Night shots: Elko, Nevada

After dinner and carousing this evening, I headed out for some night shooting. I must say that this is the first place I felt somewhat uncomfortable showing gear alone at night, but nothing happened, or even threatened to happen. Must have been the hard shoulders on the slackers at the bar or the crazy guy [...]

The Most Amazing Road on Earth

When Zoo and I headed out on our 1st road trip from LA to Denver, we made on little side trip in Arizona. We cut north of the mountains to get to Sedona and ended up in Jerome – high up on the rim of the mountains surrounding the area. It started with a cattle [...]

Day 5 Break: Jarbidge

There are small towns, and then there’s Jarbidge, Nevada.
There appear to be three ways into town, all on treacherously winding one lane dirt roads. It looks as if there’s one open eating establishment — another appeared closed. The population: 16 (plus or minus).

What Happens In Vegas…

…is sometimes hard to remember. I remember the indescribably delicious steak dinner at nine, complete with beautiful being carnivores, like well-dressed velociraptors.
I believe there was other stuff after that, in fact I am sure, but I decided to combat by hangover with hair of the dog, so it remains fuzzy memories rounded at the edges.

Day 3 Road Stories – Mojave, java and hangovering

Woke up with hell ringing red, cracked bells in my ears, furry monsters using my tonsils for trampolines and foreshadowing deserts of thought, flat and hot in my mind, waving in the distance like unreachable oasis. Also, our mirror was satanic. I swear. Fogged after showers, it made one’s own eyes look like pitiless halcyonic [...]
