Fillmore Utah

Departed Nellis AFB at 0953 and arrived in Fillmore, Utah 4hrs, 37 min later. I-15 all the way. Time change and we're now 2 hours behind NC. It will be an easy, short drive tomorrow to Salt Lake.

What a great route! We crossed into Arizona again for a little bit and what a beautiful drive through the canyons. Robin says Arizona is #1 in her book. Once again, these pictures do not do it justice. Thus the only real value if them is for our memory and to give readers an idea of why they should come here.

Why yes, the speed limit in Utah is 80! We kicked back and cruised at around 60. We can't tow the Saturn at more than 65 anyway. That's fast enough.

For much of the trip we were at about 6,000 ft.

We've stopped for the night in Fillmore KOA. Beautiful park with beautiful views. $43. And yes, that is snow on the mountains. Everywhere else is beautiful plains.

We just did a night walk. The sky is so clear. We just want to stay outside and look. Our idea is to go west from NC with no schedule. Stay in RV parks like this for several nights and see really small town USA. Happy. 

Last Day in Vegas

Did some laundry in prep for the next leg of our journey. Heading north to Idaho Falls to see an Army buddy and Yellowstone. We'll take 3 days to get there, including 2 in Salt Lake City.

Decided to do the other end of the Strip. 1st stop was Luxor, the one that is a black pyramid. WIKI

BTW, there were huge lines ar every hotel today for room check in. Probably an hour long

We hit their buffet and we vote it the best of all the ones...even better than Paris, and cheaper. The dining area replicates what the inside of the lower level of a pyramid must be like.

Then to Excalibur and New York New York

And MGM Grand

 See the check in lines?

And that's it for Vegas. Robin's favorites are Venetian and Luxor. We'll want to come back. Off to Utah!
