Just 3 words for today Jersey Boys – wow! Quality Las Vegas Food
We are staying for 3 days in Las Vegas, in a place we have stayed at before, the Jockey Club on the strip. When we stayed here six years ago, it was a couple of buildings with a huge carpark around it, next to the Bellagio Casino. The Jockey Club in [...] Salt Lake city is a nice looking city. There are mountains (currently covered in snow) both West and East of the city. Even in the centre of capitalism there are no houses built on the mountains, so its a great view. We went into the city centre to view the Morman temples in Temple [...] We stayed in West Yellowstone, just outside of the park. The town is almost completely closed. Even the hotel we stayed in with a few other guests was being renovated around us. It was very cold in the morning -8C, with a thick layer of ice on the windscreen of the car that we [...] Geysers. Steam. Bison. Mule Deer. No grizzly bears, thank goodness. Cold. 6 different kinds of snow. Hot water ponds. Yellowstone Grand Canyon. Old Faithful. If I was clever, I could write a poem. But I’m not, so I’ve just shared a few random words about our day in Yellowstone National Park.

The shortest route according to google maps took us through Teton Pass, which according to [...] We spent the day exploring Boulder, then drove back to Denver along the eastern edge of the Rockies. The mountains around Denver and Boulder are spectacular, and the higher peaks are still covered in snow. It’s a very impressive backdrop for residents when they walk out their front door. Boulder is a lovely town. [...] It was a cold morning in Colby Kansas, about 1 C. And it only got colder. We left Colby in rain, that gradually changed to sleet, and then when we crossed the Colorado border, snow. It was difficult driving along the interstate through snow and slush, having semi-trailers pass throwing up loads of water [...] The long journey over the midwestern prairie. We drove through Kansas City, which is in Missouri not Kansas. We avoided the toll road to Topeka, travelling on a state road. Once we left Topeka it got very rural with not much around. Onece we past Salina it got very flat. Our choices of places [...] We left camp in the Smokies, driving through the are north, which was very green and beautiful. Along the sides of the highway, there were fields of wild daffodils, and many blossom trees – spring has only just started in this part of the US. It was then back on the I-40, which we [...] |
