Another of our Desert Abandoned Treks

Julie and I dragged our buddy, Vinnie, on our desert trek yesterday. Poor Vinnie, this is what you get for communicating with Autumnforest after reading her blog. You get pulled into her weird world. He's a great sport and even tried to flip over this poor horned toad we found. The horned toad was apparently better at anticipating his antics. We found 4 more locations for our abandoned book; a dump in the desert, a shop, a warehouse and a clubhouse.





Here's a shot of me at a desert dump...



While I was at the dump, I did a read on this little doll and kept her. Her name is "Junkyard Annie" and she is a great addition to my abandoned dolls collection.

So, we're driving down a desert road in a town that has about 10 buildings. There's a dude on a badass motorized scooter driving down the freeway. So, I take my flipcam and start filming him. Vinnie goes, "he's gonna see ya," and on the video you could hear me say, "naw, he'll never know." Here's a still shot. Do ya think he knew???



This was when I told Vinnie to go to hell... So, he dropped right in!



Me in a fear cage....
