I am writing this from a terminal in a motel in Mexican Hat, Utah near Monument Valley as I cannot (again) get a proper wifi connection to upload pictures.
So, Day 7 and we left Vegas - a throbbing mass of humanity and headed out of Nevada for Utah and the sleepy settlement of Hatch. Truly from one extreme to the other. The temperature remained at a steady 38-40 degrees Centigrade and it is indicative of our acclimatisation that it did not deel particularly uncomfortable.
Our route from Vegas took us to the Hoover Dam and then round Lake Meade into the Moapa Valley where we stopped for lunch and an ice cream at the appropriately named Inside Scoop in Overton.
Onwards after refuelling the riders and we headed for Zion Valley National Park which is quite simple stunning. I am suure to run out of superlatives befor ethis trip is over.
We passed through three different states today, starting in Nevada, passing briefly into Arizona on the other side of the Hoover Dam and then back through Nevada to Utah.
The temperature dropped noticeably as we climbed into Utah. Next stop will be Mexican Hat.
