After Idaho came Nevada, the state of deserts but also slot machines. Every restaurant, bar, hotel or even gas station you enter, you're prompted to pass through the area of slot machines, eating coins of all sorts. I haven't seen anybody jumping through the air because (s)he became a millionnaire as they like to advertise.
Typical for Nevada is that temperatures tend to be higher than other states at this time of the year. On Saturday when I picked up my (travel) buddy, Lut, in Las Vegas, the temperature outside rised to 106 degrees F or 41 degrees C. She came from 60 degrees F or 15 degrees C in Belgium. What a warm welcome ;-)
So now I have a passenger on the back of my bike for one week which led to storing some of my stuff in a Greyhound station in Las Vegas. Not a problem actually because most of that stuff I had not been using anyway the last 4 weeks. It's amazing how little you really need when you travel.
On Sunday we visited Zion National Park (Utah) and luckily some clouds were giving us a little break from the high temperatures. Here are some pictures. Today we're visiting Bryce Canyon National Park.

He Jurgen,
Wij zitten nu in Vegas tot donderdagmorgen. Dan willen we waarschijnlijk naar Death Valley om dan ook door te trekken naar de westkust. Misschien komen we elkaar daar dan ergens tegen. We houden contact en zien dan waar we elkaar kunnen treffen...
Groeten,
Liesbeth en Weking
PS: en ja, het is verschrikkelijk warm...
