The President's Motorcade

President George W. Bush visited Clark County on Oct. 28, 2006, for a rally supporting Congressman Mike Sodrel's re-election. I got the rare opportunity to drive a van in the president's motorcade. These are some pictures that I and others took that day. (Sorry some of 'em are blurry or lopsided; it's very difficult to drive and take pictures at the same time!)
