Good Morning Las Vegas ... I don't think there are a lot of sunrises seen in Vegas, unless of course you're just crawling back to your room. That wasn't the case when I took this photo. The rooms were dark in the surrounding hotels and this was the view from our room. It was the only sunrise we saw on our vacation and was the beginning of our day in LAS VEGAS ... UNPLUGGED. After a few days of bright lights, chaotic casinos, buzzing trams, bedazzles and feathers it was time for a different kind of adventure. Just a few miles out of town we turned on dirt roads and explored the desert and all it's wonders. Along the way we found a town that I vowed I'd retire to ... until I remembered the temperatures that the desert serves up in the summer. Although, with the best burger I've ever been served up and a charming brew pub, I won't cross it off the possibility. Below is a little taste of our day in the Mojave Desert.
