Last Friday, I could not find a room in the town of Flagstaff so I moved 10 miles West to Bellmont where I found a confy room to spend the night.
The next day after a good night sleep, I got ready to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada and cross another time zone. I filled my tank with gas and started my trip at 9:15 AM at 11:08 AM I was filling my tank again after 137 miles in the town of Kingman.
I took I-40 all the way to Vegas. Most of Arizona was nice and the temperature was cool. I was riding along very high mountains and high desert but once I started to descend and getting closer to the Nevada border the temperature started to climb. When I got to Kingman, Arizona I removed my jacket liner. It was hot and the sun high.
I continued to Las Vegas with a stop at the Hoover Damn. Took pictures and a tour of the power plant.
After a couple of hours touring the Damn, I arrived in Vegas with just 245 miles on the clock. I am going to take Sunday May 15th off and Monday continue my trip to California.
