The Trip

I did not take my camera with me the first night.  But the second day and evening provided more than enough photographic opportunities.  During the day it was very hot and we spent most of the time in Kai's camper with the air conditioning on getting drunk.  But, as the afternoon rolled around, we had to prepare for the parade.

The Photos

The photos below are what we saw.

Some of our group prepare for the vehicle parade.

The minimog shows off it's prowess as a Wasteland Wonder.

Many interesting characters.

Lots of time was spent adding spikes.


Interesting characters.

These skulls were cool.

The War Boys saddle up for the parade.

War Boys with Thunder Sticks.

Almost time for a lap of the dry lake.

A really fine ride.

Notice the women strapped to the front of the vehicle.

A sand rail with Thunder Sticks.

People tied to spars on the front was a common theme; straight out of the recent Mad Max movie.

Note the exotic tire rippers.

The Ural makes a lap.

This fellow's vehicle is DOA having cut it's oil pan on a rock.  Note all the guys staring at the engine; she is oblivious.

A bra made from saw blades, brave girl.

More Wasteland Women.

Highly modified Chevy C-10 Suburban.

The group assembles at the main gate for a group photo.

This was a very elaborate costume.

Sometimes, a simple "less is more" theme works well.

Ground photo.

Lord of the Wasteland with his War Boys.

One of the members of our group made an interesting propane-powerd camp fire device.

This fellow was forced into slavery.


Tim and Kathleen.

Watching the action at the Thunderdome.

Lord of the Wasteland.

More ink than a newspaper.


Oh yeah.


More Wasteland Women.


More Wasteland Women.


Combat in the Thunderdome.

Kai and Tim prepare for Tim's pulse jet motorcycle ride.


I think that in the end, the odd get even.  This event proves that hypothesis.  We saw some really unusual costumes and nearly everyone was "in character" for the event.  Despite the heat, everyone had fun.

Tomorrow: break camp and return to San Diego.
