Initiated in January of 2007, 'Dave' (as we refer to him) will be traveling from member to member (and between family and friends) experiencing the world through their eyes. This blog has been created as a fun way to help track his progress around the country (and the world for that matter).Oregonweimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05278522809000590622noreply@blogger.comBlogger501100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586730163027676889.post-39663025194490033862007-08-28T10:38:00.000-05:002007-08-28T10:49:31.427-05:00After another, brief, stop in Connecticut Dave has found himself in the city that never sleeps, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Las</span> Vegas.
