Once again up at the crack of dawn and enjoyed a free breakfast at the Motel amongst a massive team of wrestlers. As good a way to start the day as any. "On the road again" (we play this song alot) on our way to Yosemite National Park. It was a beautiful day in the park, cold but bright and crispy. There was some snow on the ground which made the hike we did a bit of a battle but all good fun. We took a wee picnic and munched that next to the "Grizzly Giant" tree...

Alarm goes off at 6.15am. It does not feel good. Rhona and I are a bit worse for wear with lots of driving to do today to Bakersfield, California. We drive first to Death Valley. It's super hot. Have a wee picnic and see a coyote. Feel so much better after eating lunch...I'm back in. We are surrounded by such odd shaped land. Volcanic plates have caused the land to push up and then storms of heavy downpours have shaped it into odd formations. It looks like its be...

Today was our free day in Vegas to spend as we wished. Rhona and I had a really lazy morning. It was nice to just chill out as it's so go go go. We actually got a bit stuck watching ridiculous talk shows...Steve Wilkos (dude), Jerry Springer and good old Jezza Kyle-straight talking american style. We left the motel about 1pm and wandered onto the strip. Had a McDonalds....McChicken sandwiches are hot and spicy out here. Enjoyable. Went to Caesers Palace and play...

Hit the road sharp again after loading up the hound dog. Picked up a caramel latte, discussed dance moves outside a gas station, passed the Mead river and Hover Dam and entered back into the state of Nevada. Arrived in Las Vegas about midday and drove along the strip. Everything is SO elaborate. The sun is beaming and Casey has a Las Vegas playlist belting out. "Ooooooh, sometimes I get a good feeeling, yeah.". It's true, sometimes I do, times like this. We see ...

Met up at 7.30am and munched some breakfast in the van, heading for the Grand Canyon. Some of the team wanted to do a helicopter ride but there had been BLIZZARDS so the flights weren't running which was a shame. Rhona and I couldn't afford to do it anyway so..didn't effect us but were quite shocked to hear the weather was so rough. This meant we had a bit of time to kill though so we travelled some of route 66. We drove from Kingman to Hackberry where there was...
