Road Trip

So we leave the Grand Canyon and head for Monument Valley nice long drive, when we get there its spectacular i mean really spectacular! Derek was gobsmacked see some of the pictures. When we left we drove until dark and pulled in to a town Kanab in Utah this facility was 'nice' the lady running was a hoot. Left early the next morning and drove thru all the great basins across Nevada, and wow, long long long straight roads with mountains on either sides of these plains, just like in the movies, even the Sci Fi movies..... Well we drove on and again until dark then we stopped in a town Tonopah, everywhere we stopped was 'no vacancy' well we pulled up at a motel National 9 with vacancies.......Jess from work warned me about these places.....sorry Jess, we went in.....Aaaaargh, it was hideous, whadda u expect for $49 + taxes. There wasn't anywhere else! So after a very uncomfortable nights semi-sleep we go up & left by 7am..... Drove some more across Nevada and headed for California, and Yosemite NP but were diverted due to the fires in the park, so we headed for Lake Tahoe instead, but on the way the mountains we crossed were smothered with the smoke coming from these fires, very eerie. So we finally get here its pretty here, pretty large town as well! We have rung the hotel in Yosemite NP and all is good, but we have to travel a different route to get there, no big deal! The motel here is gorgeous, I said to D I wanted something 1000 times better than last nights so here we are, Beach Retreat & Lodge Motel, South Lake Tahoe.....heaven....hehehe Goodnight xxx PnD
