Back on the road early…we drove out of the rain in about 30 minutes.
This is what happens when you can’t play with the focus on the iPhone whilst driving. Nice looking hat, though.
There is a nice little rest area between Fillmore and Cedar City I try to stop at. On the way down with the trailer I just sat at a picnic table in the sun here for a while.
The Dailylife Wife here in her new Dailylife Chariot:
Between Cedar City and St. George the clouds can be intriguing.
Once you get to St. George you have to descend onto the Arizona Strip: 20 miles or so of rugged Interstate that cuts off the corner of Arizona. There are two Arizona signs here…
A few photos of the AZ Strip by the Dailylife Wife. Too much traffic and twisty’s to take my own!
Eventually we exited the AZ Strip with a few miles of Arizona, where we got gas at $2.25.9!!! Then it was into Nevada at Mesquite.
An hour or so across the desert and there is Las Vegas in the haze.
A dash through Vegas and there is Lake Mead, created by Hoover Dam.
And here is a stunning photo of Hoover Dam! Or it would be if they didn’t decide it was safer with no-see-through sides on the new, post-9/11 bridge. Before that you could drive across it. After 9/11 you could still drive across it after your vehicle was searched. Then they built this massive high bridge that you can’t see anything from.
You can see the highway way down and gone in the rough country, though! (A Dailylife Wife photo!)
Another “entering Arizona sign”, #2 for today!
Rough country, then flat country and ROUGH roads, ending up in Kingman, AZ. Not quite as rough as I40 from Kingman to Flagstaff…
And once we are safely in our motel in Kingman we go looking for Dinner under a full moon. On top of the tree.
All in all it wasn’t a bad day. We need to get going in the morning so we can get my truck and get up to Cottonwood and Clarkdale to set up the trailer while it is still daylight.
