That place looks cool. Whats with that airplane piled into the side of that hill?

 

It's an artifact used in the movie Breakdown, with Kurt Russell.

The town is The Techatticup Mining Camp in the Nelson-Searchlight Mining District

 

Thats the place but the plane is from 5,000 miles to Graceland its where the gas station that he blew up after he killed the old creepy dude.

 

Just so a few I have many more. Everytime I figure out how to upload pics things change.

 

Details, details, details.....

 

You got the Kurt Russel part right.

 

North of Vegas is the Valley of Fire... If you are looking for great scenery where you can kick back and cruise with your thoughts, this is a great place.

Take water and/or food with you as there are no facilities to buy them. They do have water fountains but its better to take your own...

So how was the ride? Where did ya go?

 

Hey, sorry for the late response. Just back from Vegas and getting over the 30th birthday hangover

I ended up getting a Street Glide and took that baby south to Laughlin, east to Kingman, down to Oatman, and then back up over the hoover dam before hopping back to the hotel on the strip.

Check out my blog entry for the photos and google map showing my route:

I took along my hand held GPS with me in my pocket, so it was able to track my entire route... VERY cool for those of you that want to see where you've been once you get home!

 

Anyone ever take a similar path?
