Nevada Club Inn Bullhead City

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.

We just wanted our map to b...

Dopoledne vyrážíme k největší přehradě na řece Colorado - Hoover Dam, která drží obrovskou nádrž Lake Mead. Cesta je docela nudná, jediný ozvláštnění je pár mil před přehradou právě probíhající stavba novýho a širšího úseku dálnice, která má ulehčit vytížení p&#...

I'm a bit rushed on these because I've been on and off the internet all night. I've got it now so nobody move. Oatman was a very cool little town set up against a mountain. It is very close to what I would assume an Old West town would have been like a hundred years ago. First of all, there are burros all over the place. There had to be 20 or m...

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 tra...

Later that evening, we carried our sore bodies, now much lighter without the weight of the packs, up the hill to Havasu Falls, the destination of campers young and old alike. At first we watched - young kids sitting along the edge of a ridge over which water from the falls flowed into the stream that runs alongside the campground, an older coup...

Oh yeah, bring on the glitz! First though, I must finish our time in Omaha. It did get warmer, thankfully and by the time we were ready to go the snow was melting and spring was around the corner. We had a couple of really interesting trips in Omaha. It's the home of the Jocelyn Art Museum which has got to be one of the best in the country. For ...

After some great days in Los Angeles we headed for Las Vegas, Nevada to get some new and different impulses. We picked up a rental car at Los Angeles Airport on the morning of November 30th - a brand new Ford Focus 2007-model at a very decent price. Now for the scary part: the Los Angles traffic. But as with everything else you get used to that ...

We left the high country and the cool temperatures of the Grand Canyon and followed the Colorado River down to the Bullhead City, AZ/Laughlin, NV area, where HOT can barely describe what it's like here! At 11 in the morning, it's 106 degrees in the shade, and 127 degrees in the sun, according to our thermometers. Of course, the only place that's...

Las Vegas is as mad as a March hare. Anything goes and is actually actively encouraged !! You can gamble 24 hours a day. Even the airport is within a mile of 'the Strip' But if you think that it might take too long to go that mile, it doesn't matter as there are slot machines in the baggage reclaim area. There appears to be a competition among t...

Back on the I-40 towards LA. Then on to Route 66 near Seligman till almost at Needles. Stopped for morning tea in Seligman and lunch at a shopping centre in Kingman. The little western town of Oakman near Bull Head City had their Sunday afternoon market going, along with stagecoach rides with Santa for the kids. The town of Needles closed down o...
