The Experience

We left San Diego and traveled north in Thor to the Wasteland site.  We were dismayed to discover a very long line to get into the venue.  The exact cause for the delays were never acknowledged, but it did take 2 hours of sitting in the hot sun to accomplish the mission. 

The Photos

The photos below are what we saw.

Above, we sit in line with strangers waiting to get into the venue.  This gal is from L.A.

Kai came by in his Ural and gave Kathleen a ride while we waited to gain entry.  His Ural is fully decked out for the occasion including a Thunder Stick.

This fellow made this iron horse.  The legs move as he motors down the road.

This is a very odd vehicle with hanging seats and a rear grappling hook.

This WWII bomb transporter was outfitted with sleeping cages to keep the lions out during an African safari.

A camper on an ex-mil 5 ton 6-by truck.

This group put a ton of time into their rig.

The good, old mini-mog.

My body armor is built from salvaged Neighborhood Watch signs and a child's BMX helmet augmented with a whisk broom.

This is a fine ride.

I have no idea where these were obtained but there were several statues in different colors.

Another fine ride.

Parker in his full kit.

The "town" area was rife with odd characters.

This "shipwreck" is on several trailers.

A customized dune buggy.  There were plenty of Thunder Sticks on the vehicles.



Another fine, fully-customized ride.



Wasteland Women.  Muffin tops notwithstanding, some were actually cute.



More Wasteland Women.



This gal got married in the Thunderdome.



A whole lot of Rosie.



A rather optimistic chastity belt for men on sale in town.



War Boy on the roof guards the main entrance.



Early landing mat chic.



Speechless, I am.



Another custom ride.



Note the Canadian whiskey banner.



The vehicles line up for the parade.



A very novel mask.



Parker on the moped.



One of the very few pedal power vehicles.



It takes all kinds.



Note the axe.



The group prepares for a few laps around the dry lake.

After dark, things got wild in a hurry.  Take odd costume and mix with a liberal amount of liquor combined with other intoxicants and the party begins.
