FRIDAY 30th
Much to our surprise we heard rain on the roof of the RV last night. Unfortunately it was still going in the morning so we took a quick look over the side of the Canyon to see what it looked like in the rain but really only saw cloud! So, we needed to make a decision about whether or not to visit the Hualapai Sky Walk later in the day on our way back to Vegas – and the weather kind of made the decision for us. Plus the fact that it was going to cost us $NZ400 and it was about a 2 hour drive off the main road to get there. So we decided to flag it and head for Hoover Dam. Our vehicle was stopped just short of the dam for a security check and then we headed down to Hoover for a look. The place is a mad house! It was mid-week, off-season and raining and it was teaming with people – it’s just a dam for goodness sake! They’ve built a huge visitor centre there and really made the place a major tourist attraction.
We decided to head straight for Vegas after the Dam and got there about 3. It was still raining so we checked into Sam’s RV Park which is right across the road from where we have to drop the RV back to tomorrow.
I have to say that the RV experience in the USA was the best we’ve done – the great roads, infrastructure and wide open spaces make it a very fun experience. And the kids loved it.
