On my first day\u00a0I\u00a0\u00a0usually make some purchasings like Ice Chest (Walmart), soft Drinks, Water, Trail Food. I did this early in the morning because at 10 am I met our friends Karsten and his wife Zhen for breakfast buffet\u00a0 at Bellagio Hotel. They are touring the first time USA Southwest and we had arranged this funny get-together. They live 1 mile away from me in Munich.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

After brunch I sorted my pack and went then for 2 hours to Flamingo pool enjoying Nevada sun. At the early afternoon I had planed a small photographing Warm up session at Valley of Fire Statepark. It is located a 1h drive North from Las Vegas. It was a good Occasion to check if my pack is complete, I remember how to use the GPS, test my new Lowepro backpack and my new Hiking Boots, and finally get a Feeling for the Jeep.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n

I returned at 8pm in the Hotel. I was so sleepy that I just ate a Sandwich, drank 1 beer and went to bed and fall immediately asleep.<\/p>\n
