Guido was the focus of this trip! His genius wife and my good friend Marla had been planning this surprise birthday party in Lake Mead for him for over 9 months! While Lake Mead was the main destination, there were a lot of people between there Port Townsend that I had not seen in quite some time. Avoiding the road weariness of long road-trips-past, I opted for going very slow and seeing lots of great people on the way. This worked splendidly! I never tired of the road and the visiting time I got with friends, including Guido and our fellow NM cohorts (13 at least), was extremely enjoyable. Thanks to all you wonderful people! Obviously, one of my focuses on this trip was my photography, so there's a lot of photos in here from different places of natural beauty I visited along the way. I hope you enjoy!
