Welp, judging by what appears to be a "Welcome to California" sign in the middle distance, this must be in the general vicinity of Death Valley, near the California/Nevada border. (And they actually named a highway after Charlie Brown? Good grief! ;-)
Strictly a guess, mind you.
As for the cee-ment pond in your other photo (the one with the Las Vegas address): Would that be Las Vegas, Nevada, or Las Vegas, New Mexico?
