Hello Arizona!

From Las Vegas east on US 93 we finally got a close look at one end of Lake Mead.  It was very low, as can be seen by the exposed white layer.

93 turned south winding up and down mountains and around and through the Mojave Desert, past constantly changing scenery.

After we passed Lake Mead we got our first look at Arizona.

93 joined I40 going east  at Kingman for a few miles, then turned south again.

Lunch stop at Wikieup at the Chicago Eatery.  Good stuff.

We had an all day ride through some beautiful, ever-changing scenery.  Now we’re ready to sit for a while.

I didn't realize blue Lake Mead is. So pretty. Enjoy your new home spot. Pickleball here you come.
