In our "new" home!

Van is unloaded and I'm trying out my recliner!

Via Los Vegas & Hoover Dam!


They are building a new hwy("google" the awesome new road-via helicopter) beside the Hoover Dam just outside of Vegas and it took us 2 hrs to travel 4 miles(those figures are correct) on the old road...because of 9/11 security is tight and it was just a Sunday afternoon and there were many sight-seers![Motorhomes pulled over & inspected thoroughly for anything that could cause damage]

First & Last part of trip GREAT...inbetween ????

Great trip to Cdn border...the next morning it started to snow and we slipped & slid thru parts of WA, OR, ID, UT and finally at St Georges,UT we had sunnier warmer, weather.
The ice was coming out from the wheel wells and the van was covered with sandy slush!

We visited with both BC families -then off to AZ!

Having coffee with Tam!
