Greetings all. You would think that given how advanced America tells the
world it is that most places would have an interweb link in the hotel or an interweb cafe somewhere. Anyways, all is going well and we have covered about 2100miles of the journey so far. Currently we are in Laughlin, Nevada and the temperature today is only 104f (40 degreesC). Today we rode through the Black Mountains with lots of twisty roads and long drops and into a small town called Oatman, which has the Million Dollar Hotel in it. How The West Was Won was filmed there. The hotel has every wall covered in one dollar bills signed by every visitor, so we wrote one for us and Kerm (see picture above). The ride across the Arizona desert was almost unbearable as the 20mph wind was scorching hot. Only 350 miles to L.A.
Route 66... Straight, innit?
Yesterday we took a train ride out to the Grand Canyon where it was 'only' 38 C. On the return the train was attacked by bandits and Kerm ended up at the end of a gun barrel. He is proving popular as usual.
Tonight we are in a casino hotel and should reach California by noon. Temp is forecast to be 115F.
Maybe tomorrow we will find a decent link...
Paul, Trish and tired froggy.
