Lake Mead looks like a lake on the fucking moon. Yeah there is water but it is surrounded by brown dirt hills. Extremely ugly. You are from the South, correct? Trust me; you would be missing green in no time. Its a fucking desert. It is brown, dead and ugly. The only people that like the terrain out here are the ones born and raised and dont know any better.
no...
i'm from the northeast...NH, to be exact (which is why i'm lurking in a NH -based forum)
i know all about it...
you speak the truth, re: lake mead = moonscape
i was fucking mystified , when i first set upon it, via rented boat....
i LOVED the fact that i saw, maybe, 4-5 other boats, THE ENTIRE FUCKING DAY, on the pristine aqua-blue water... i mean...i've NEVER seen fresh water this color....(yeah, the ''islands'' have it...jamaica, st. thomas, et al..) fucking turquoise water....salted, of course.
as we boated around, i fell instantly in love with the place.........
NO shit-built camps, or mcmansions, 10 feet apart, dotting the entire perimeter ( lake winnipesaukee, in my case, or ANY big-time lake in this country)
i LOVED the ''MOONSCAPE'' atmosphere, of a non-corrupted & over-commercialized lake...
yupper, i dig the dirt brown, my negroe.
