If you are reading this, and we warned you not to, here is why....<br><br>When we left the Grand Canyon we drove for a few hours that night and stayed in lovely Needles, California, right on the border of Arizona. So thats it, just where we slept for the night, before we headed up to Yosemite National Park.<br><br>We just wanted our map to be accurate, hence the reason for this post.<br><br>Till Yosemite, a real post you can read.<br><br>Nic and Jess<br>

Bohu&#382;el v&#283;t&#353;ina je pro &#269;leny nebo za &#353;ílený prachy. Nakonec nám v jednom dají tip na sousední levný a tam z&#367;stáváme. Mají tu ú&#382;asnej bazén. Víc u&#382; fotky...

We picked up the RV today in Los Angeles, it's fantastic. A 32 foot (10m) home on wheels with 3 beds, shower, toilet, air conditioner, stove and fridge. This will be my home for the next 21 days.<br>We are headed to Northern Arizona (Bullhead City, AZ) tonight. Boy is it hot, 108F (30+ celcius).<br>

... us and getting our site number, Toby was cornered by "Kathy" who raved on about how wonderful the place was..."best place in the world" etc...while her husband tried to park their RV in a space near us. We managed to wedge the Eagle into our spot leaving us a whole 6ft gap between our door and the side of the next vehicle! Once we had set up we heard some angry voices coming from Kathy and co a ...

The water was beautifully clean and clear and cold, so we sat on our chairs with our legs in the river and cooled down with a few beers before cooking our steaks on the barbie (grill not doll)! <br><br>Distance travelled: 113 miles <br><br>Total distance travelled: 1728 miles <br><br>Days on road: 21 <br><br>States visited: 3 <br><br>National Parks visited: 2

Today we went to look at other casino offerings but not the gambling. We saw dolphins, alpacas, swans, leopards, lions and tigers all at "The Mirage" where they have all these animals beautifully housed within the casino grounds. Other casinos have attractions such as an aviary at "The Flamingo", lions at MGM Casino, and a shark reef at Manadalay Bay Casino ...

As we packed up that night so that we would be ready to leave early in the morning, I started thinking about the quirky memories I would have from this trip. I thought about Andrew, looking like a prospector with a teenage girl's backpack on. We laughed about the guy who had packed in a watermelon. The mystery of the missing peanuts from the trail mix bag and ...

... opened and we came across a rock cave, formed by the water that must have ran in a small waterfall over it many years ago. We reached signs alerting us that we were proceeding at our own risk, and then we reached a series of tunnels. The tunnels, chiseled into the side of the cliff, were short and easily manageable, but we emerged from the final tunnel shocked at the path in front of us. As we ...

... Winslet, Alan Rickman and a raft of others. The detail of the workmanship is astonishing, especially when you think that these things are only on screen for perhaps a couple of minutes. It was also amazing to see how tiny these people are. I could easily span Nicole Kidman's waist! That evening (our last in Omaha) saw Kuniko and I go to bed at a reasonable hour, but Matt and Richard decided to rediscover Omaha's more flamboyant past. It was a late night for them ...
