In the U.S. for the big adventure now.

 . . we are based in Las Vegas because it's central for access to Los Angeles for picking up our bike crates and then for travelling up through the desert to Bonneville.
I don't and never will be a gambler, so Vegas is a novelty for me and not a money loser.

not spending a dime on the wee beasts,  just a beer or two !
