We finally got finished in California, and made the trek to Nevada today, through the sweltering heat. The temp on the car's display topped out at 110 on the highway.
The desert wasn't boring for us, because it's something different, that we haven't seen before. I always wondered where those long, straight stretches of never-ending highways, that I've seen on TV, but now I know.
Once we got into Las Vegas, it jumped up to 118, and people were still out walking around on the strip!! We found a car wash, that washed the car by hand, and cleaned the interior for $20.00. Can't beat that! We drove right down the strip, just to say we did, and it wasn't bad at all.
We had a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, but they wouldn't fly with only the 2 of us, and it was also 120 degrees out there, so that trip didn't happen.
We headed out to Hoover Dam, and wandered around there a little, and I must say the temperature was miserable. We snapped a few pictures, and headed towards Kingman.
We ran into some rain on the way, and it was raining too hard for photos when we got to town, but quit before we landed for the night, and I got a chance to get some pics of Rte 66 marks.
Still looking at the maps, and trying to decide if we want to check out the Grand Canyon from the south tomorrow. You just never know!!
