Aylmer Express "MoHo" Extravaganza 2006

Well, after two unbelievable days of touring some of the most spectacular vistas I have been fortunate enough to set eyes upon, we had to say good-bye to the beautiful surroundings of south-western Utah. After we had breakfast and you could just see the sadness in André-Paul's and Morgan's faces ... NOT! As you can see from the picture, they are settling in to the tour in a pretty comfortable manner. Our drive began with another run through the scenic top left-hand corner of Arizona, only in the opposite direction this time. It was just as awesome the second time through. We then retraced our steps back toward Vegas which we happily eschewed, and thereby kind of only side-swiped on the way by. We only got close enough to take a few distance photos of the Strip and a few billboards. Only in Vegas, eh? And then it was off in the other direction toward a soft landing in Boulder City. We pulled up just short of crossing the Colorado River back in to Arizona. Those who know their geography, or who have been following the Sprint Family Locator showing our instant whereabouts, will know why we stopped there. If you are not sure, you will find out tomorrow! We found an excellent campsite in Boulder City. Check out the palm trees by the MoHo … cool, eh? As an aside, Boulder City is only 18 miles from Vegas and it is only about 10 miles from the Arizona border, yet there are no casinos there. Why, you might ask? Because it is a town by-law. The result is a reasonably normal little town in Nevada. That is not so easy to find, in case you were wondering. Anyway, once we got settled in we were treated to a fabulous sunset complete with artistic clouds formations and pastel colouring. A very nice little evening show, I must say. I then had to head over to the main office to get my fix of WiFi so that I could continue to bring you more chapters in the seemingly never-ending Aylmer Express “MoHo” Extravaganza experience. Things went we right up to the part where I proceeded to forget my computer bag at the office when it closed. The good news is that it was locked up safely in the office complete with an alarm system. Perhaps even safer that having it in the MoHo. The bad news is that my passport was in my computer bag! Tune in tomorrow to find out how things turn out. What a cliffhanger.
