We got up early one morning to head out to the firing range.  Finally in the daylight the vastness of the desert was obvious.  Nothing but small shrubby-lookin' things, certainly nothing that you would think could sustain a herd of Camels or humans for that matter, but I guess I was wrong, because on the way to the range we passed multiple camel herds near the road, each had a tent-like bedouin-looking structure nearby.  Humans are pretty resilient making homes out of such inhospitable climes.....

Behold the vastness.....


I was looking for some "CamelBoys" (middle-eastern cowboys) to keep them doggies rounded up as they wuz gettin' close to the road.  Must be easier being a Camelboy as you can try and rope two targets, head and hump. Just watch out for those camel pies.

                                                                     Camels! Camels!

Here we are at the firing range somewhere in the desert, always a dangerous proposition with a bunch of healthcare providers toting weapons with live ammo. This was more of a weapons check as opposed to qualifying, just squeezed of 5-6 rounds. The 9mm is pretty fun to shoot actally and I'm told it has good stopping power to boot! The range next to us was using full automatic machine guns and the tracer rounds were pretty cool to watch, my Star Wars lovin' kids would've enjoyed it.
