Hot Vegas.

One of the many ways to get to Las Vegas is following the i40 cross country for over 1000 miles untill you get to the town of Kingman AZ. There is onto the 93 for 110 miles .

No big deal right.?

The road up to Kingman has been pretty good , occasional bumps and repairs . Now , getting on the 93 is an altogether different story. For 56 miles , yes I checked , it was a true to life washboard from the Wild West. Speed down to 35-40 miles /hour and everything that could shake loose , did shake loose. My center A/C kept tripping the breaker and temperature was slowly rising. My goal was to make a quick stop at the Hoover dam, it has RV parking on the Arizona side only . No signs and before I knew it the damn dam was on my right and disappearing in my mirror. No problem , on to the Campground and checking out the A/C problem. It really was getting a bit hot. Dash A/C was blowing cold and beau was laying next to me . Hmmmm , why next to me if you have a perfectly good bed in the back. shaking for 2 hours must have cured him. That wasn’t it , the second A/C stopped working as well. Now we’re in trouble. Only one A/C left and a heat warning in Vegas and the whole south west. Temperatures up to 115 Fahrenheit (46 Celsius) and it really is that hot!! Yeah but it’s dry heat!!! My ass dry heat. It’s hot !!its very hot .

Arriving at the RV resort , on the phone for the recommended rv mechanic, they were here in 3 hours , analyzing the issues and I’m on the phone with the warranty company for two new A/C units. Good experience with them this time . Friday I can have it inspected and new units installed.

Beau and I are locked into the bedroom with the only working

A/C and keep somewhat cool (82 degrees cool) the front of the RV is a balmy 101 degrees . No fun.

I got up at 4 am , beau deep asleep and got my first taste of Vegas . a bit overwhelming but pretty spectacular. Walked the strip in front of Paris and Bellagio at 5:30 in the morning , saw the sunrise over the strip , had an early morning coffee at subway with my homeless buddies and all was good with the world.

7 am back to the RV to make sure beau is ok and feed and poop him early before the fiery heat comes back.

Welcome to the west!
