Truly a great blog Sir. Nice stuff to read. If I lived in Las Vegas I'd rent a bus and actually start to do tours :D
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, brings back memories! I hope you didn't get stung by any Cazador during the trip!
ReplyDeleteWhile I was lurking over at 'No Mutants Allowed' I happened across a link to your site, have to say that this site ROCKS!!! ROCKS out loud I tell ya!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Thanks - it's not done yet, still 8 or so places to blog!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. Thanks for sharing! I have to convince my wife to let me do the same when we visit the Capitol Wasteland.
ReplyDeleteExcept that hollow-point is worthless against a deathclaw's 15+ DT hide. Bring the AP ammo instead.
