Stranded in the desert...again


A beautiful morning at the Grand Canyon seems so long ago... We made it to Hoover Dam where it is scorching hot, the incredible cement mass not only provides electricity for the desert folk, but it also serves as a heat trap for its patrons.

Just after leaving the Hoover Dam...we broke down. After talking with some people, it seems like it's a sensor problem that's prohibiting the engine from using too much throttle. 


We're waiting for a tow in Boulder City, about 25 miles from Vegas. 


We've got plenty of warm water to keep us hydrated. Our spirits and body temperatures are high though with the prospect of a nice hotel suite at The Venetian waiting for us along with good friends :)


Good to go.
