No news since the last update. Except that Vegas has been added to our trip out west. Woot! I’ve never been – if anyone has advice on what to see/do while there (other than the mind-numbingly obvious), let us know!
No News.

Rhys Martin was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1981. In 2009, he sold everything he owned and left the country, living out of a backpack for ten months. He discovered a passion for photography while traveling throughout Southeast Asia and Europe. After returning home, he looked at his home town and Oklahoma heritage with fresh eyes. When he began to explore his home state, Rhys turned his attention to historic Route 66. As he became familiar with the iconic highway, he began to truly appreciate Oklahoma’s place along the Mother Road. He has traveled all 2,400 miles of Route 66, from Chicago to Los Angeles. He has also driven many miles on rural Oklahoma highways to explore the fading Main Streets of our small towns. Rhys has a desire to find and share the unique qualities of the Sooner State with the rest of the world. Cloudless Lens Photography has been featured in several publications including This Land, Route 66 Magazine, Nimrod Journal, Inbound Asia Magazine, The Oklahoman, and the Tulsa World. In 2018 he published his first book, Lost Restaurants of Tulsa. Rhys loves to connect with people and share his experiences; ask him about enjoyable day trips from Tulsa, locations along Route 66, and good diners or burger joints along the way.

Las Vegas is home to the pinball museum. All sort of classics line up and plugged in. Bring a roll of quarters.
There’s *tons* to do in Vegas. I just spent a week there back in October, and of that week, maybe 2 hours was spent gambling.Hoover Dam is impressive regardless, but when you behold it and realize it was built 70+ years ago, you’re floored.The Atomic Testing Museum is a poignant, editorial-free archive of those moments that ushered in the Atomic Age and punctuated the latter half of the 20th century. If you have a spare hour, you can see all of it, though I was there for three, and still felt like I left a lot behind.The Flamingo has a neat bird habitat that’s worth seeing if you have the time.The forum shops by Caesar’s Palace make for fun browsing, but if your time in Vegas is short, there are lots of better ways to spend your time.There’s lots of great food to be found, just about anywhere you turn.I could go on, but I won’t. You two take care of yourselves, enjoy your trip, be safe, see lots, live much, love more, and give me a holler when you get back–you’re missed.
Brett S?? Smiley?! Awwww, I miss you! Thanks for the suggestions. 😀
