LasVegas Arrival
... situation. This side trip cost us about an hour a half and we decided to take our hot bodies to my brother Bob's home in Boulder City. The ride out of Kingman to Boulder City on Highway 93 was so hot in the blazing sun. I think the temperatures were in ...

Hoover Dam
Well staying in Las Vegas was one thing on Kelsey's list of things she wanted to do last year, but didn't. Seeing Hoover Dam was another thing. Fortunately, we made it 2-for-2 in just our first two days on tour! We weren't satisfied with just driving ...
Back in the USA
Well, I thought that I would simply write about our peaceful return to the United States, but it turns out that we had quite an adventure getting to the airport. Might as well talk about it to end on a more exciting note. We left Ann Marie's ...

Hoover Dam to Death Valley
Well, last night was probably the worst night we've experienced so far. We slept at a campground in the Valley of Fire. The dessert is supposed to cool down at night, but something must have been wrong with this dessert. It did not cool down, and we ...

Hooverdam
The lasst 10 miles to Hooverdam was realy at a pace of 15 mph. An official visit of the Dam would cost 13 $ per adult, and parking the car zould be 7$. So we decided to just skip the visit and see what we could see from behind the car window. For ...

Even bigger trees
After my brothers had argued over whether t was trees or more muzzies we eventually settled on trees and headed up to Big Basin. The winding route up to the park was well worth the effort as the big trees were accessible and awesome. This is one of ...

Home, Sweet Home

Saying goodbye to friends
