We have arrived

It took us 11 hours but we've arrived in Las Vegas. Got into town, checked into our hotel and took a shower.

The drive was gorgeous. The part of Utah we drove through was all beautiful scenery and no towns. In fact, there was a 100 mile stretch with no gas stations or McDonald's, and that's something these days!

Dom was a little worried about the car, because it's had a small coolant leak. It overheated once last summer and again a couple of months ago when it was 10 below zero and I was driving my mother to the doctor, and he fixed that problem. Now it's got this slow leak and he thinks the water pump is wearing out. So he piled antifreeze, water, and his toolbox in the back of the Jeep. In the end, it was an uneventful drive.

It was getting dark by the time we got to Vegas and, wow, has this town grown since the last time we were here about 8 years ago.


More tomorrow!

Dom & Donna
