This is a second version of a sculpture that generates live video and audio feed creating a convincing rendition of a view of Walter De Maria's Lightning Field.

In this case this case the sculptural elements were selected based on a kind of "boys and their toys" mentality: a scooter, a BBQ and an under car mechanic's trolley.

The title of this piece is a nod to the road trip possibility of going down to New Mexico to experience Lightning Field, and the hope of seeing lightning while there.
