5th & 6th Nights

On the 5th nite, we stayed in Williams, Arizona, where there was a biker's rally -- over 1,000 Harleys -- it was lots of fun, but the wireless at our motel did not work. On the 18th we crossed a whole lot more hot desert to get to Las Vegas. When we crossed the Colorado River at the Hoover Dam, there was a steep hill to climb on the other side, and the van was not at all happy about it. We got to Vegas and the 4 Queens Hotel, where we had a reservation, about 2 p.m. At 9:30 we went to get Bill Jones at the airport and discovered that the van was leaking transmission fluid. It is now (on the 19th) being repaired. We could not meet Chuck and Diane Fitsgerald in California, as we had hoped, so we are staying one more night here in Vegas, at the 4 Queens. It is incredibly hot, but lots of fun.
