A very nondenominational Happy Holidays to all!

On October 17th Jeff and I journeyed to Las Vegas to watch the U play UNLV. We started early and headed west to Wendover to play some cards, we thought it would be good to compare the two gaming places. Just kidding! We went through Wendover then south on HWY 93.

I really enjoyed 93. It wasn't curvy, or scenic, but it felt remote and far away. There was not much traffic and the towns were small and far apart. We ate lunch in Alamo, at the local pizza/sub/pasta joint. We each ordered a sandwich, I went with the turkey and Jeff went with the pasrami, after all, it is the most sensual of all the salted cured meats.

Instead of heading directly into Vegas and seeing as how we had reservations at a hotel in Henderson, we took the scenic route through Moapa Valley. I like to say that: Moapa. From 93 we did 168 t0 169 to 167 to 564 right smack dab into Henderson. That back road around by Lake Mead and near the Valley of Fire State Park was pretty impressive. It made me want to go back to Vegas to explore some more.

We rested-up, cleaned-up, and went to the game. We decided to eat somewhere good after the game. Believe it or not, most smaller dinning establishments close at 10pm in Vegas, I was not going to park and walk forever for some over hyped garbage buffet, so we went to Beto's on the strip. Good as ever!

I have not been riding much, the occasional jaunt to school.

Happy Holidays, ride safe.
