2007 Adventures My dream adventure - To motorcycle across the USA!

Arrived in Las Vegas

USA | Wednesday, 21 November 2007 | Views [439] | Comments [1]

Hey Guys,

I have finally made it to Las Vegas, after a couple of day’s hardcore riding across Arizona, Utah and Nevada.  After the Grand Canyon, I blasted up through Navajo country into Utah and into the Zion National Park, which is apparently where the Road Runner and Coyote cartoon is based on, so you can imagine the rock formations and how extreme they are.  Absolutely astounding!  The country out here is just amazing.  I have never seen anything even close to like it in my life.  The size and proportions of everything are insane.  The mountains and huge, the deserts are huge, the plains are huge, the canyons are huge, the rivers, the cliffs... and on and on and on!  I will write more about Zion and getting there and post some pictures tomorrow.  But tonight I have to take a hot bath, because my body is starting to ache a little after 6000mi.  Then I am hitting the Vegas strip in style. I have been having so much luck on this trip, I think I will put $100 on the Roulette wheel and see if I can win the cost of the trip back in one shot... I think a win on your number pays 31 times back.

So everybody wish me a bit more luck. ;)

Oh yeah, tomorrow is Thanks Giving Day here in the States.  So all my American friends (old and new)- I am wishing you all a Very Good Thanks Giving Day.  And to all of you that have helped me on this adventure – A very sincere thank-you indeed!

Tomorrow I am spending the day here in Vegas and will probably eat my Turkey in front of a slot machine. Hahahaha!

I am so glad you are enjoying your tour across the USA.
The next time you need to start earlier in order to go
into the upper part of the states. (Glacier National Park, Cascade Mountains, Yellowstone National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park) I know the cool weather is probably annoying. It takes a few rides across the USA to see what a beautiful place we live in. Keep the sightseeing on the sunny side and good luck.
