It took us awhile to load up the bikes and get ourselves out of expansive Las Vegas but once we got outside the city line, wow. 360 degrees of sand, mountains and tumbleweeds.
We drove 80 miles to Overton, a sleepy town with a MacDonalds, a community center, a library, a Best Western and two bars. We will be heading to one of the bars shortly to catch the second half of the Vikings vs Packers game. It was packed and loud and smokey as we walked by. It should be fun. When in Rome...
Best Western room rate = $53. Includes a free continental breakfast at 6:30 a.m. Doesn't get much better. I'm praying that Eric doesn't snore.
Off to Zion in the morning. Hope to get there in 2-3 hours so that we can try the hike that Eric has heard lots about.
Bikes are in great shape. Lots of fun to ride. See pics below.
Eric's addition: las Vegas is one of those rare cities that just ends. It just goes from seedy casinos, methadone clinics and strip malls to desert and mountains--all within a quarter of a mile. Amazing. Weather is perfect. Totally clear and 70's wonderful!
Until tomorrow....
