Here's another interesting place to visit on our way to Vegas. Take the Kelbaker Road exit off I-15 at Baker and go east for about 20 miles, then turn left on to Aiken Mine Road, which is a dirt/gravel path, for another 4 miles. While driving towards the destination, you can almost tell from the landscape where the lava flowed from, coating the land, and where it stopped, creating a wall.
Once I knew that we were going to visit this place, I wanted to buy the Sony A7s camera which would be perfect for this opportunity. But after some debate, I decided to stick with the M9 and bring a tripod instead. Limitation breeds creativity, right? Unfortunately, we got there a little too late to catch the sun ray beaming through holes. So, I setup the tripod and we took some silly long exposure shots.

It gets pretty dusty in there, so I wouldn't recommend anyone staying there for too long. After climbing out of the hole and look at the surrounding landscape again, you can't help but wonder how was this place ever discovered. Here's a shot of my friend, David, who at the time of this shot, had no idea his daughter Isabella will born in another 24 hours. Somehow, I feel the essence of happiness is captured here.
I also took a bunch of photo and videos via Google Glass, you can see them [HERE].
