Today Marc and I traveled from Vegas to Williams, AZ. Not many pictures taken. From this point on the need for mileage will out weigh the need for picture taking although I'll have many pictures of The Grand Canyon tomorrow, but for tonight we bid you a goodnight.

Marc and I visited Las Vegas Motor Speedway and I am glad to say we survived a private tour provided by Julie, a 70 some-odd year old women who drove us at warp speed around the track. I learned quickly the value of a seat belt after being slammed into the side door of our 15 passenger van. None-the-less it was very interesting to see the facility. The 20+ degree slope on turn one and two was very cool to hike up!
Some of the ground crew let us help paint the grass in preparation of the Camping World Truck Series race this weekend.

If you ever get to Vegas a must see is the Freemont Street experience. The ceiling lights up and music is synched to is. VERY cool!
These are handblown glass jellyfish like plates that hang from the lobby ceiling at the Bellargio Hotel. The pictures do it no justice. Thanks to Marc he drove down the "strip" in congested traffic so that I could run in and take pictures. The hotel itself is very grand and the casino is one of the most elaborate.

Tuesday - Sept.22, 2009
We visited Arlen Ness's Victory dealership this morning. Very nice folks gave us a tour of the dealership.
Some of the varies sights to see at night. The lights are magical!
Next are pictures of The Venetian Hotel
The ceiling is painted to resemble the blue sky and there is a moat to enjoy a gondola ride through.
Margaritaville on the strip. We had dinner there Monday night.
Various pictures of our Hoover Damn tour.
I had to wear a bandana over my face because the wind is so hot and dry it hurt my nose.

Monday - Sept. 21, 2009
Marc and I traveled from Kingman, AZ to Las Vegas today by way of Oatman, AZ where wild donkeys run around the small town greeting all the tourists. This young donkey has a "NO Carrot" sticker stuck to his nose.
The temps going through the Mohave Valley reached 110 in the shade. The wind gusts were hot hot hot!
This shows a small portion of the pass we rode going into Oatman. Very skinny road with many tight curves and hairpin turns.
