OFF TO LAS VEGAS VIA THE HOOVER DAM BRIDGE

Come Sunday morning we were heading to our next destination at a TTN park in Las Vegas, Nevada. But by adding only 11 miles through Kingman, AZ we would be able to drive across the magnificent new bridge overlooking the world famous Hoover Dam. On the way we stopped at a Pilot truck stop for the last diesel fuel purchase in Arizona where we were only charged $3.70 per gal. A bargain price compared to the states to come. At least 10 miles of Hwy 93 leading to the new bridge has been rebuilt to freeway standards and we kept looking for the new bridge until finally there it was. This new bridge has only been open for nine months and is already a major draw in the area with hundreds (thousands?)of people walking along on the North side walkway for a magnificent view of the Dam from 900 feet above the Colorado River and 150 feet above the dam.

But we continued on to Las Vegas to save a closer view for another day. The weather was in the 80's with clear blue skies, we parked, set up the motorhome and relaxed after a good day's drive. Our Wi-Fi here is barely adequate but it is free so we can't complain too much. At least the Verizon cell phone signal is good and our satellite locked in right away. So tomorrow is another day and perhaps we can get the pictures to load on our blog, we have some nice ones to show you. So that will be all for now, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bye
