I have left the bright lights of Las Vegas after betting a whole dollar on the pokies...BIG SPENDER! and crossed the Hoover Dam. They are building a new highway so I sat in a traffic lineup for an hour waiting for the road to be cleared of rubble and watching other drivers cursing and foot-stomping. It is a pretty impressive dam and the new road is supposed to be the biggest of its kind (well of course-I am in America!) so will add to the whole engineering feat they seem to be going for.
A little after this I joined Route 66 and the scenery along this stretch was a lot like driving through the Kimberleys in sepia (yellow rocks instead of red). As I carried on my merry way the temperature began to drop until I found myself in the middle of a blizzard. I'm now settled snugly in a motel in Williams, about 100miles south of the Big Gorge. There's 2 feet of snow outside and it's still coming down.
