today we went to las vegas for a few hours. it aint nothin like fear and loathing like i hoped. we walked around the strip and then had a buffet.
but we went to the desperado.. the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world (in 1996 anyway) its a mile long and lasts all of 2 min 45seconds.. but what a rush woo hoo!

still same trouble with wvo system. tomorrow im gonna check for obstructions and if if that turns up nothing i might resort to bleeding injectors...

we are in mojave. we were here on our way down! we reconnected with our route down. its a nice feeling because i am lookin forward to getting home

Bienvenido su casa! 13,000 km’s, that’s some serious mileage.

Questions? Did you like Don Julio? Gran Centenario? Will you be headed south again next winter?

Glad to hear you two made it home safe and sound!

Cheers,
Kevin

i liked both don julio and gran cenentario.. i got a bottle of the DJ for me, and GC for courtney.. as well as a DJ for you kevin, but you said dont send it, so i guess ill have to drink it unless you come to get it!

next winter i might try to get to a warm place in 6 hours or less, by plane, and do some scuba diving :)

Thanks for sharing your trip! Nice to see that the Deli's are so reliable, plus I'm very inspired by the fact you did most of it on WVO, and am curious - did you ever find/fix the cause of the WVO issue that was forcing you to burn dinosaurs on the way home?

Cheers,
