3.22.2019-FRIDAY-TRIPPING TO LAS VEGAS, NV

First item, Happy Birthday Mom. It’s also Cindy Lango in Flagstaff, AZ.  I awoke this morning around 5:30, much earlier then normal, but we’re looking at a 260 mile trip to Vegas. 

Yes, a snow plow!

It is impossible for anyone to feel the cold in a picture, but this is what 35 degrees looks like in the GC. We went to bed last night hoping for no new snow, well, it wasn’t that much. The coach roof was covered, The toppers (pieces of canvas that cover the slides when they are extended) had about 4 inches of snow on them, the windshield of the car was covered in ice and the car had over six inches of snow. We will definitely be picking up a snow brush.

No story behind this picture except that Carla liked the Eagle.

 

 

Now we’re regressing. temp now is 25 degrees. The road is wet with water, ice and slush. We’re moving along at a very moderate 50mph.

 

 

 

Above and below are two separate accidents about ten miles apart. This is the reason we’re moving along well below the speed limit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One hour or about fifty miles into our trip this is what we have. temp  is in the high 30’s and I’m loving it.

 

The scenery we’ve seen along this trip has been just short of awesome. The roads are excellent and the bridge art deco is beyond description.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A quick glimpse of Lake Mead of the Boulder Dam. We were not in a position to photograph the dam itself, but we all know what it looks like.

 

 

Highway bridge décor, beautiful. Instead of plantings before and after the overpasses they make extensive use of stone of all kinds and colors.

 

The trip was uneventful but interesting. Take time to read the blog on the trip to Vegas. Our destination would be the Thousand Trails RVResort in Las Vegas.

 

The site map for Las Vegas thousand Trails. We’re located on site 59. Temp here is 65 and the AC is on.
