Title: South-West USA landscape tour
Post by: jeffreybehr on January 09, 2003, 05:29:45 pm
thelsloot, two books to buy now are here-- http://www.phototripusa.com/E_Guidebooks.html (http://www.phototripusa.com/E_Guidebooks.html).  I have the first and it's very useful.  Buy them now to help you plan your trip.  Use a search engine like Google to find van rentals.  I would expect LV to have lots available.

One caution...it gets HOT, damned hot in fact, in the southwestern deserts in the summer.  If your trip is around March thru May, I suggest visiting the desert locations early in that period rather than late.  May is SUMMER is the deserts.

I hope you enjoy planning and taking your trip.

We are also planning to visit PMA in Las Vegas in March.  So we find the replies to the other PMA question very interesting.  Our question is this: We have 3 months to do a phototour of the South-West and are thinking of renting a small campervan.  Can anyone recommend a place where we can do this cheaply?  (We could also get a car if it's a lot cheaper and stay in motels.)  We had thought of buying a van, but have heard that it is very difficult to get insurance if you do not live in the States.  Any suggestions on the subject of camper/car hire would be much appreciated.
P.S. Is the PMA a good place to find books on shooting locations?
