Arizona, Nevada, Hoover Dam, and then Arizona again

Thursday morning we left Sprinville, and were excited to find the speed limit was raised again. 80 mph or 127 kph.


We ran into a bit of snow again, but after we started to decend into Arizona, the temperature went from -3 C to +13 C in about 20 minutes. It was a spectacular drive downhill, driving with one hand and taking pictures with the other.






We took a side trip into Las Vegas, to look at the casinos.



On to see the massive Hoover dam, and a tour of that. It was crazy busy, and as you can see in the last picture, they are building an impressive bypass. We got stuck in traffic for 5 or 10 minutes, but the line up we passed as we left was at a standstill right up to the 7 mile marker in Arizona, so at least 12 km.





We spent the night in Kingman, Arizona.
