Vegas 2016.....

                        Just a few more pictures from our road trip to Vegas and back.

On Saturday we went out to Red Rock Canyon to do a little hiking. It was a little colder then we were expecting. And very windy. We just randomly picked a trail and we were off. Colette and Andy joined us on our hike.

                                    It was beautiful. The pictures never show the true beauty of it.

                                           We hiked to this little water fall.

 It was so windy that my hair was a big old mess but I cannot have a blog about our trip with out at least one selfie.

                             By the time we left the sun was setting. It was breathtaking

                                        Rick shooting on the last day of the shoot.

The trip home started with dry roads and no snow. But you can see from the clouds what was coming up.

                     
                                                      Lots and lots of snow!

 On our second day of travel we had to stop in Evanston WY because they had closed down I-80 the night before. We decided to have a little lunch and luckily they opened it up. Because of it being closed down there was hundreds and hundreds of trucks waiting to get on the road. It took about an hour to finally get out of the truck traffic.  You can see in the picture below just how far it was lined up with trucks.

 Some more pictures from on our way home. We have never had so much snow on all of are trips out to Vegas. It was so pretty with all the red rocks.

 My poor new Rav-4 was so dirty! It preformed very well in  all the snow and ice. We were glad we got it before the trip.

 This is my favorite stop on the trip. It is the only rest stop between Rawlins WY and Casper WY.  It is a long ways to go with out a break so I am always happy to see it :)

                             Yes I am happy to be out of the car and be moving around.

 We spend our last night on the road in Hot Springs SD. We woke up to the beautiful sunrise. All these beautiful sites are the reason we drive every year. We have so many memories.....

 

        We made it home around 5:30 on Wednesday evening. We drove 3341 miles on the trip.

I cannot wait until next year........

Happy Travels
