Las Vegas, here I come.
One thing you ( ;-) ?) should know is that distances
in US are sometimes a surprise. Driving from Beatty
to Las Vegas, is about 120 miles, and some small
towns along the way. At least according to the map.
But, after 100 miles, not one house, by far no gas
station. Just at the limit of the totally
empty gas tank, about 30 miles before Las Vegas,
there was and army base with a few trailers (they
call this a town), and luckily, a gas station.
One small addition. Somewhere halfway, there was
a T-section, with just one green house, an alien
from area 51 ?
By the way, Nevada is one big airplane shooting target
practice area.
Also, never plan to travel during march madness (spring break).
Seems that I got the last available room in Las Vegas.
Good that I arrive early enough to spend some time, and found
something very close to the strip.
Spend the afternoon visiting Hoover dam. Amazing that we could
walk inside the dam with a guide, who knew a lot about
the engineering facts, numbers, history, and a fun story teller.
A picture upwards looking, from one of vent shafts, in the
middle of the dam:
And the rest of the night on the strip in Las Vegas.
