Road Runner Country

After the chaos of Las Vegas we headed north to Utah. Utah is a hidden jem. Not a lot of people visit there but there are some of the best national parks in the country. It was like being stuck in a real life Road Runner cartoon. I managed to get a few quick pieces done along the way.

Desert Life

We found that everything we wanted to do and see meant that we had to zig zag our way across the USA. So we headed south through Death Valley towards Las Vegas. Death Valley gets it's name from the extreme conditions that you experience there. You go way below sea level and experience some ridiculously hot temperatures and not much grows or lives there. The place is a barron wasteland. We passed through some bizarre little towns and I stumbled across a great little skatepark in the middle of nowhere.



Arriving in Vegas was strange. We drove for 7 hours through desert without really seeing much to being surrounded by Castles, Fake NYC, Paris, Venice and all sorts of tacky buildings and monuments. We pulled into a hotel car park jumped out the van and went straight for the pool. We ended up sleeping in the van in various hotel car parks and using their facilities over the next few days. It's much cheaper that way.










Like most cities in the USA, once you get out of the central part of town it starts to get a bit dodgy. I don't know what was going on here, but they were up to no good.
