We traveled down into Idaho after leaving Montana and then jogged over so we could go south through Nevada. Glad we avoided Utah with all the flooding they had in the southern part of the state. We were lucky going through Nevada because they were closing one of the roads we were on for the Silver State Challenge Race on highway 318. It was closing at 5AM on Sunday the 20th and would be closed until 2PM -- we got through there on Saturday. The race is one hundred miles long -- not sure why it is big deal -- didn't see a lot of activity getting ready for it.
We got through Las Vegas and made it as far as Kingman. A nice place to stop. South of the Boulder Dam we stopped at a scenic overlook. You can see the Colorado River meander through the valley. This spot is at Willow Beach where you can camp and boat on this part of the river. I got a nice picture of mountains colored purple being close to sunset at our campground on the outskirts of Kingman.
