This was an adventure last summer. We set out to find a cool place to shoot the Milky Way and ended up in the middle of nowhere, Nevada.  First of all, we had to get away from Las Vegas’s light pollution. So we headed south on the I-15 towards the state line. We found some cool spots around the dry lake beds at the state line but kept driving and looking. We ended up turning off at the Nipton exit. We thought about going all the way to Nipton, which is a ghost town. But, these posts in the middle of a dry lake bed caught our eyes. So we pulled over and hiked to the middle of the dry lake. As we walked, we noticed a lot of flying creatures buzzing our heads. Las Vegans remember what a huge monsoon season we had in the summer of 2022. Those monsoons caused a lot of standing water in the dry lake beds. The water caused the area to swarm with mosquitos, and all flying critters buzzed us while we were trying to capture the MW. The bugs were miserable, plus I ended up with tons of bites…But I love the images that we captured.
