Good evening to our myriad of fans from the town of Tonopah Nevada which bears an uncanny resemblance to the surface of the moon. And our flash CHEAP digs at the Clown Motel.....yes I'm not kidding, the Clown Motel. But hey for $39.76 inc tax for the room....no not each, but collectively $39.76 it's the best value weve found by a mile. Add in the fridge, the microwave, and the FLAT SCREEN TV, and it doesnt get much better. But I digress...
Yesterday (Day 10), we departed the Oregon 8 motel in downtown Klamath Falls (no there are no falls in town because when the white people came they damned all the rivers and buggered the falls...true story), and headed south towards Lake Tahoe. Came in from the West side of Tahoe and spent 2 hours fighting our way through the traffic down towards South Tahoe and the casinos. We got a room at the Horizon where Wayne has stayed before with the cricket lads for $80. 12th floor, view of the pool and lake...all good. Buffet downstairs for $12.95 each and very happy. The casino is unfortunately just about non existent as they have removed all the tables and only have machines left. And wifi was $10.99 a day....hence no update last night. What a f**king rort! Add in Bob Dylan playing outdoors at the hotel next door (jeez he sucks. Couldnt hold a note in a bucket. Sounds like a frog drowning in cement actually) and an early nights sleep was undertaken.
We departed at 8am and headed for Yosemite. Roadworks left right and centre, and 2 and a half hours later we were driving into the park via Lee Vining. Yosemite really is an eye opener especially for those who havent been there before. Some terrific photos and videos, a decent walk for Trev to the dribbling falls, and we headed out at 315pm. 4 hours and 150 miles later and we arrived on the moon for the night!!
Tomorrow we keep heading east towards Cedar City Utah. Zion and Bryce Canyon loom in the next couple of days before returning to BHC early with any luck.
Its all good!!!!
