Kingman - Hoover Dam - Boulder City - Viva Las Vegas


All  out of  "Smarties "

Great Jazz  & play's 2 guitars @ same time

Made the right choice to stop over in Kingman 100 miles out of Las Vegas, huge storm clouds were coming in and as I had  mentioned  yesterday I was tried of fighting the wind. Left after a delightful breakfast which didn't cost $3 and heading towards Vegas, stopping at the Hoover Dam what a "Awesome" sight  and engineering wonder, very impressive. Stopped in Boulder City for coffee, it has  great views over Lake Mead and  then did the last 20miles into Las Vegas. Always thought Vegas was in the desert and a very warm place,  well not so today, there been a icy cold wind blowing, which is coming off the surrounding mountains,  all covered in snow. Saw lots of poor tourist who properly had the same idea's as me on the place, all in  in shorts and t shirts, the curio shop's did good business on sweatshirts.

Really enjoying your stories and photos! Must be quite a change riding on your own (after having had company), but at least you donot have to debate with others as to which way to go or where to stop!! I suppose after having done your African trip alone, you must be used to riding alone. Which do you prefer?
