Hi Everyone, Onward to Las Vegas, this is the bottom leg of our journey around the Western United States. The temperature shot up as we headed towards the Nevada desert and theTpulsating oasis that is Las Vegas, but first we visited the Hoover Dam. When we arrived the outside temperature had reached 114 degrees and felt like you had a hair dryer blowing full on into your face. The Dam tour was quite good but was more of a relief than anything else as you could ...

Apologies Everyone, I thought that I had already added this update regarding our visit to the Grand Canyon but obviously not. Sorry about that, here we ago again - 30th June , We had a really hot drive to The Canyon but arrived within 40 miles to be met by torrential rain.

Parkway Motel, East State Street, P.O.Box 52, Orderville, Utah is the place and Dixie is the hos...

It is also very different, our aim today is to see Yellowstone Lake and surrounding areas, before visiting Old Faithful and then leave the park via the western Exit/Entrance. From there we have a six hour drive in order to get as near as possible to Salt Lake City...

Hi Everyone, We spent 23 June sightseeing around yellowstone Park visiting the Geysers and then driving around the Northern section. We were lucky to see a Grizzly and various other wildlife including a Black bear by the side of the road. Unfortunately I was driving at the time so no photos but if I can download from the other camera perhaps I can put that situation right. Upon return to the cabin a short walk to the local shops was called for. We had spoken of...
