Days 66 to 69: 31st August to 3rd September, 2009 (tractors)
A decision was made for the tractors to remain in Las Vegas waiting for the RV group to re join us ready for the last leg of our amazing journey into Los Angeles. Whilst waiting meetings have been held planning our final route to the west coast as well as preparation for winding up this once in a lifetime (we think!!) trip.
As we have waited we have continued to enjoy the many sights and sounds on offer plus some wonderful meals as well (the choices are endless!!). Some folk have also enjoyed additional excursions out of the City.
Lighting is something this City excels at, special mention should be made of the presentation nightly in Downtown Las Vegas it is quite spectacular and having visited twice, we have noted that it is not the same each time. The current theme in the area is ‘Summer of 69’ so the music presented covers that era.
A visit to the Coca Cola store was of interest to some as well. Everything you could possibly ever imagine is on sale here all depicting the ‘Coca Cola’ logo!
The weather continues to be around 100 degrees+ (F) but generally the feeling is that we have adjusted over the days and it certainly is not as hard to take as it was during our first couple of days here. Most days we have still been able to see the effects of the Californian fires but thankfully the fire fighters now seem to be getting them under control from reports we are hearing.
As we have moved around Las Vegas we have been aware of many very large building projects under way but not visibly in progress at present. On enquiring the comment is that they are in limbo due to the current world financial situation.
After six nights here the tractors will be departing the Circus Circus RV Park at 5.30am tomorrow 4th September, 2009 (beating the heat and the traffic!) heading south on route 95 towards Los Angeles. The RV group have decided to follow in a day or two.
