Here are some pictures around Provo this morning:
This is just a house along the way that I liked the look of.
Another blurry picture, but this time the important factor is the lack of snow! It disappeared as soon as we dropped down from the high plains.
And look! Palm trees! This is in Mesquite where we are staying tonight. Not exactly balmy yet, but not freakin' cold like it has been so far.
The highway was pretty crappy, but only for about an hour. The storm wasn't as bad as predicted. They were originally talking about a foot of snow, but it petered out to a few inches. We were on bare, dry pavement most of the day.
I know the picture is blurry, but the important thing is that there is still snow on the ground only a hundred miles from Las Vegas. I know, there is snow actually IN Vegas, but this still seems wrong somehow.
This is our hotel. The Silver something or other. It's a huge Casino complex, but it's clean, cheap and of course, dog-friendly.
This is the bottom of our bathroom door. It would appear that some people leave their dogs locked in the bathroom while they gamble in the casino.
Dan is working on the world's s-l-o-w-e-s-t internet connection. They charge $9.00/24 hrs. You can't buy less than 24 hours because they know that's how long it takes to check your e-mails... And downloading photos for a blog entry? Lots of time to finish a bottle of wine!
We've been living on fast food for a few days now, so to have a real meal in a real restaurant was a treat. Pretty good Chinese food too.
We asked the waiter to box the leftover rice for Taz and he not only put in our rice, but added some more AND some ribs from the kitchen! Lucky dog!
Not sure what our plans are for tomorrow. We're thinking Death Valley, but we haven't actually looked at a map to know if that's do-able or not. We're looking forward to being able to camp. We want to park ourselves in one spot for a least a week and veg!
