A year with my sister, a lesson in survival, sanity and/or stupidity: Snowball fights and Walmart shopping

Today we’re picking up our 5^th wheel. Payment has gone through, paperwork complete, familiarisation done (and already half forgotten). Last night we became Walmart shoppers and brought supplies for our new home.

You're not a true Walmart shopper without your pyjamas on

Earlier yesterday we travelled from Logan to Garden City and had some fun playing in the snow, making snow angels, throwing snowballs, taking scenic photos, trying not to get hit by the snow plough as it's speeding along. All the usual stuff you can do for free.

Heard a rumour that this was bear country. Sue got a bit worried at this. She was hoping not to see any this trip.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Jean mentioned on Facebook that we visited the Musical Road in Lancaster, CA. For those without Facebook, we visited the Musical Road in Lancaster, CA. We drove over it twice and took this movie. Can you pick what the tune is? There are no prizes for guessing correctly. Just a bit of admiration from the travelling kiwis because we couldn’t pick it and we even knew what it was.

Visited Death Valley, the Hoover Dam, a small town named Jean and a slightly larger town named Las Vegas on our way north to Utah. We were in Death Valley in one of the cooler months of the year but it was still 30^oC. Driving down the Strip in Vegas was entertaining. We had to stop at every traffic signal on the journey. I have never enjoyed red lights so much before.
