Started the day in Lake Havasu City, AZ, and saw the london bridge. Neato! Moving on...
This was most of the road. Lots of open space with little slivers of river. The one thing this picture doesnt show ya is the MASSIVE WIND that was constantly blowing. 18-wheeler trucks were struggling, and sometimes failing, to even stay in their own lane. Everybody was being blown around, and it sure sucked on the Ural. Gave me quite a workout keepin Freya pointed correctly. More desert and wind later and I happened upon the Hoover Dam!
But first theres this bridge you have to cross, and while crossing it I had no idea just how massive it was! Even this picture doesnt do it proper justice
Hoover dam is awesome! I didnt take the inside tour, I probably should have. I was having a great time just hangin out with Freya and getting somebody new to come up and talk to me every 5 minutes. Seriously, even on my way out I had somebody jump in front of me to get a picture. Driving across the top of the dam, there was at least 4 pictures taken of Freya each time (I crossed the dam twice).
Fighting the ridiculous wind, finally arrived in Las Vegas!!!! Earlier today, I was thinking "ya know, I'll just drive on through since Vegas is more a weekend thing with a group of friends". Soon as I hit the strip, that idea went away. So now I'm staying at the fabulous Venetian. Check out my home for the next two days!
Wait, is that Mad Max the Road Warrior in that picture!? I THINK IT IS! I had a great time being all covered in dust, looking like Mad Max, walking around this imaculate place. I got some cool looks too, but mostly people averted their eyes. HAHA, See the power!! Anyways, room service?
Most delicious BLT ever, onion rings, and of course the classic shrimp cocktail! While we're at it, lets have a plate full of tiny tabasco bottles. Why not?
More later.. probably..
