Fun in the Sun, Las Vegas Dec 31, 2011

So a friend of mine, Jared, and myself decided to leave the cold of SLC and to take our Vulcans down to Las Vegas to do some riding. Another group M2W(my 2 wheels) was having a group ride on sunday Jan 1, 2012 and one of their riders, Ken, invited us along. So friday after i sped off from work i took off to jareds house to make the 7 hour Drive down to vegas. Thanks to Utahs unpredictable weather and me getting of work late we decided to trailer the bikes down.
We slept at a friend of Jareds and got a late start on saturday but headed towards Valley of Fire/Lake mead.
"The mouses tank road"
After riding through and stopping at the visitor center to see the 77 degree temperature sign we took off for Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. We had a hard time finding a parking space to use the bathroom, and when we did they wanted to charge us $7 so we took off and found a lot .25 miles away that didnt cost anything. There were lots of tourists that made us feel famous because they were taking our pictures as we wrode across the Dam twice.
We got back to the house before dark and decided to just take a rest and get ready for our day ride on Sunday. Happy new year!
