I See You Larry

I see you Larry
It's a joke I like to pull on the next guest staying in my hotel room. I write this on the mirror right after I've taken a shower. I know the chances the next guest will be named Larry are slim, but on the off chance it is - Larry will step out of the shower and see a disturbing message waiting for him.

This was taken at the Ramada Inn in Tonopah, Nevada.

Road Trip - Marine Mountain Warfare Training

On my last road trip, as I head through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I passed the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center. Luckily I was video taping using my little Veho Micro DV Camcorder. So, I decided to put the video on YouTube.

Nothing earth shattering here. Just a road trip through the mountains with a whole bunch of Marines around. The music is Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

Sierra Mountain Road Trip

My life is under construction for the present time. Here are some random pictures from the road trip I took. There are quite a few interesting stories. Being stalked by Marines training in the mountains was one interesting thing that happened.

Only saw one single wild horse. Used to see bands of wild horses and burrows on my way to UNR from Las Vegas. They're all gone now - sold as meat. You can thank our Former Republican Governor, Jim Gibbons, who sold off Nevada's natural treasure for a few bucks in his pocket.

This was the same ass-hat who beat up a cocktail waitress and threw his wife out of the governor's mansion because he had a new girlfriend. Our new governor, Brian Sandoval, also a Republican, seems to be much more friendly to Nevada's wildlife.

There was so much snow still on the mountains

Clown Motel - The Movie


I just got home from the road trip to my Aunt and Uncle's. I thought before I crash for the night, I would share the single scariest thing I saw on my trip through the high desert.

The Clown Motel on the edge of Tonopah Nevada. 

Living in Las Vegas, I have a few clown friends and I mean absolutely no offense. They are the funny, amusing, talented clowns. They bring happiness to the lives of children and those young at heart. Love those kind of clowns. I'm talking about the horror movie clowns .. the ones Stephen King writes about.

The Clown Motel is just like those motels you see in the movies. Tell me what child want to sleep with a clown? Remember the movie Poltergeist? And this isn't like Circus Circus, this is smack in the middle of scrub country.

If my father after driving hours through the desert and it was twilight with the lightning in the sky - pulled up to the Clown Motel and said, "Hey, kids let's stay here for the night while the storm passes."

I'd give him the middle finger.. not just no, but hell no .. I'd rather sleep on top of the rusty tractor near the town's cemetery than with a whole bunch of clowns with room keys,


I took many more pictures, including of few of lone wild stallion near the Sierra Nevada mountains. I will post all these tomorrow if I get the chance.

Good night .. muhhhahahahhahaaaa.

Tonopah Oasis

Don't think they're grizzlies in Tonopah.
Decided that my life was enough - Under Construction - to go on another road trip. Left Vegas around 5pm, which was little too late, so I decided to stop in Tonopah Ramada Inn. I can't imagine this place has changed much in the last thirty years.

I put a few bucks though a slot machine, decided to cash out with around five bucks and then realized there was no TiTo - Ticket in / Ticket out. With no ticket system, I had to wait on a hand pay. They guy was pretty cool. Found out he was an MMA - or so he claims. He did have the knuckles to prove it though.

So, going to wake up early in the morning and try to make it through Reno.

Great Raod Trip

The Mighty Kmuzu woke up this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. I've decided to escape the oppressive, infernal heat of Vegas and take a day trip up to the groovy parts of Utah.

I have three goals in mind -

First is to visit Cove Fort near Cedar City. Then a short distance north to Sulphurdale and then a jog to the petroglyph walls of Rochester Rock Art.

Leaving early so as to not get stuck in the heat.

Wish me luck .. although it is just Utah after all.

UPDATE **** Well, since we now live in a totally dispensable economy, no one carries a charger for my year and 1/2 old cell phone (Pantech) . And because I don't want to try to pick up a charger on the way up for a now dead phone - I have to wait until the AT&T store opens up. So maybe I will take a nap.

One more thing - ever notice how many movies have guns in them? I think guns are the new cigarette.

UPDATE 2 **** well went to two of the spots I wanted to go to - but got lost and ended up far north in Nephi. So, instead of trying to make my way back - I just got a room. The pain started coming back to me fairly bad .. So, I think I will take a nap and maybe post some pictures later on tonight.
