Today was as expected. We went for a run, broke camp, and headed northwest to Las Vegas. We got held up briefly at the Military Check-point near Hoover Dam (staffed by the Arizona State Patrol), where they were checking for explosives. They required we open our Chalet for inspection, and we felt a bit of déjà vous, as if we were back in Baja at the frequent military checkpoints there. The traffic jam through Hoover Dam took 30 minutes to clear, and we must admit it appears to be an engineering marvel, and if we had more time, we might have chosen to take a tour. Arriving in Las Vegas, we checked into our hotel, did laundry and grocery shopping, then killed time until we got a call from Adrienne at 11:00 pm saying she’d arrived at the airport, one mile away. After collecting her, we returned to the hotel and went straight to bed.
