Feeling much better and totally refreshed, I set off south on the 15. This is a massive road & has stretches of it that are really badly maintained with huge potholes. The speed of some of these drivers & lorries makes me wonder why I did not see more crashes. I passed through the desert area which had large stretches of sand with absolutely no plants. There were also very few trees growing. I spotted a sign for Peggy Sue's Nifties Fifties Diner which so...

I woke up not feeling too good... perhaps a little too much beer. Needless to say that most of the day was spent in bed recovering. I made it out for a late lunch in Planet Hollywood at a restaurant called Ocean One Bar & Grille. I had a huge bowl of pasta and a massive diet coke, but still did not feel great.

With the Nascar rally on, I had to leave fairly early as I had to take the same road as the rally stadium is on - the 15 north. I stopped in St George for the tourist info office, but unfortunately its closed on Sundays. When filling up with petrol, this young lad asked if I was going to Cedar City and if so, could he & his girlfriend get a lift. Just a short way after St George, I took the 9 east and passed through a town called Hurricane. This looks like a...
