Tried to get reservations for the Grand Canyon at a couple of places, with no luck. Decided with the holiday weekend, that we’d pass and head on over to Las Vegas.

This was a really interesting day. Started out in Holbrook, AZ around 10:00 AM Temp was in the low 90’s drove over to Flagstaff, AZ, and hit thunder storms temps got down in the low 50’s. By the time we got over to Kingman, the temp was back in the 90’s and crossed 100 before we crossed Hover Dam.

Hover Dam is really impressive. Also, there’s a major road construction project going on on US 93 around the Dam. No Commercial traffic across the dam. There are security check points on the Arizona and Nevada sides of the dam. We had to stop about 5 miles from the Dam, and let the AZ state police inspect the coach inside and out. Opened and inspeceted all the bays.

The construction project isn’t due to be completed until 2008.

Got to Las Vegas around 7:00 PM PDT. Got a site at Sam’s Town Casino and RV Park. We’ll be here atleast till Monday.
