Day 18
We got an earlier start today because our travel was to Henderson, NV., 346 miles. The first 50 miles were slow because there were many long hills to climb. It got real cold throughout the morning. Mae had two light jackets on and used one of my jackets to cover her legs, I endured with one light jacket and sweat pants, I was very cold. As we dropped in altitude the air got warmer, then came the sun. By the time we got to within 50 miles of Las Vegas, NV., it got hot (99 degrees), we decided to fold the top of front windshield down, the air felt good, drove this way to our motel. We drove through main drag in Las Vegas to see the buildings. It took us 1 1/2 hours just to drive the main drag, bumper to bumper traffic. Went to Walmart to get water, seems like we want to drink a lot. We are both ready to get a good night's rest. The Old T just keeps chuggin along.

Be sure to drink lots of water
Southern Nevada can be rather hot this time of year, if it is only 99 degrees, you are lucky:) Be sure to drink lots of water and keep hydrated. Just east of Las Vegas is an area called Valley of Fire, worth the side trip if you have time, but then you have already seen some spectacular country from the best motorcar to see it. Drive safely Gus
