Dear All,
Thank you for your various replies. Though, although understandable, some replies, I did not appreciate at all.
Regardless, my trip to Vegas has come and gone, and for you very concerned people, for obvious reasons, I did not have a companion to ride with me. (But, I did have a great time in Vegas)
However, I want to clarify that the original post only asked for interest to generate a conversation for the possibility of sharing a ride. I thought it would be mutually beneficial to provide transportation for someone who needed a ride to and back from Vegas, and for me not having to drive alone. Further, though I understand that there may be a greater risk for the provider, I believe the risk is just the same. Hence, I was merely 'fishing' for interest.
Lastly, Angel indicated to others that I have no reviews, and my account was not white listed. My motive, if any at all, was to 'safely' break into the hobby. I am new. But, I have done my share of research to learn about the hobby; understanding that what I originally posted is contradictory to all that the research points to.
But, I thought I would take the risk to learn about the hobby from a provider during a 4-hour drive to Vegas. I plead guilty to having a motive, but I thought that the utter 'cock-blocking' was unnecessary.
Nevertheless, I did learn one thing from the post I created. The hobby in itself is still a huge risk, even though providers and Johns go to great lengths to protect themselves. Unfortunately, rapists, murders, and LEs are all a part of this world.
But, I find it is a shame that even a simple post to generate a conversation is easily shot down by people who know nothing about me, or who I am just because they feel insecure with the world that they live in.
/end rant.

R - It was a stupid idea. But 'cock blocking' was unnecessary.
