Welcome to Rune Østigård's blog

Here are some random pictures from The Sin City 🙂

This was a great trip for me, I had so many “pictures” in my head, I guess from magazines, movies, driving through the desert and all these things… and for this day I wanted to rent a REALLY BIG american SUV… The car rental told me that they had a nice Toyota SUV available, but I told them that I don’t wanna drive no japanese car in the USA, I have a Toyota back home,  I want a big V8 american SUV…! 😀

I don’t really think I would like to know what he was thinking about me… ;-P

It was really a nice experience to drive through the desert in this car, it was strong and comfortable and most importantly, it had a very potent AC..! It was staggering warm this day, we even passed 47 degrees Celcius! (117 degrees Fahrenheit). Even the rock smelled burned! Wow… too hot for me! 😀

On the route to the Death Valley, we had a stop in The Badlands – The Zabriskie Point. Fantastic formations and colours!

Through the Death Valley, we passed Badwater. This place is actually below the sea level! And we went out of the car to look around and read the signs etc, but it was scary warm!

On the way home from the Grand Canyon, we stopped by The Hoover Dam. The monumental size of this thing is hard to grasp really.

Hi all,

As can easily be spotted from the date above, I have a huge backlog on my photos, and have just recently had the time and energy to start to go through them, but hopefully I will soon catch up..! 😀

First new batch is from Grand Canyon, we stayed in Las Vegas from 28.07 – 31.07.15, and rented a car two days to get around. It was terrible hot these days, but nevertheless a great experience!
