Short motorcycle ride from Vegas
In light of the fact we just got back (ok it’s been two weeks, but I had a kidney stone in there) from Las Vegas I thought a write up of a short trip from Las Vegas might be in order. This is a trip that we took back in October of 2010 during a conference we were attending. Enjoy…..
The Strip to Valley of Fire, Moapa Valley, and back

After a large breakfast at the buffets we hopped on the rented RT
(Rosebud was in the shop because we hit a semi’s drive shaft two weeks before) and headed off for a shorter ride with some spectacular views along Lake Mead, near Valley of Fire State Park, and through Moapa Valley.

We enjoyed the ride, and found that there were not a lot of people on the road. However, our trip was made longer, because there was road construction through Valley of Fire State Park. Moapa Valley was a surprise bonus and the farm land near there opened our eyes to the rest of Nevada.
