The Tour is Over for 2008

That’s it, all done, the tour is finished Booooooo.

We arrived back in Vegas on Wed 29th after driving through Beattie and eating at the Sour Dough Inn (nice little shack with such gems in the toilets as “Please do not throw gum in the urinal, the same hands that have to pick it out, also place the ice cubes in your drinks” and “Learn warfare like the USA, if you have trouble identifying the target, shoot at anything and the first thing you hit, is the target”).

Back in Vegas we had one last evening to wander around, Me and Mrs Fogg went through all the hotels and casinos again before getting blotto at The Rainforest Cafe and the Folkies enjoyed a last view before a final American meal (salt, sugar and no veg) at the Harley Davidson Cafe.

A quick drive up to drop the car back on Thurs 30th, before waiting for our flight back to Gatport Airwick, the Folkies went off for their mammoth slog to Ireland and we went for a kip in the Yotel (well we say kip but between the kiddies running down the halls and workmen drilling, sawing and hammering we had no rest). So after a long day, we are now back in the Foggy household (brrrr blummin freezin here), with 4 million letters to deal with.

So what did we do over this trip:

  • 2039 miles (290 Dollars worth of gas)
  • 5 states (Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado)
  • 1 Dodge Durango covered in 10 tonne of Nevada Desert
  • 2 National Parks (Zion and Grand Canyon)
  • The Grand Canyon Skywalk and a 9 mile hike to the Indian Gardens
  • 1 Concrete Wigwam
  • Standin on the Corner in Winslow Arizona with a Flat Bed Ford
  • Stood on 4 states at the same time
  • Saw some more Injins
  • Stacks of Ribs and Steak
  • 24 Bottles of Wine (175ml just for Mrs Folk)
  • 120 bottles of Coors lite (between Mr & Mrs Fogg and Mr Folk)
  • 1 Barbeque at Boshful Babs
  • Little Ale’Inn for less than 10 minutes
  • 10 hours of Video Tape (comeon then who wants a slide show)
  • About 2000 pictures

Not bad for 20 days is it?
