Getting Our Kicks On Route 66

About 2 hours from Vegas is the town of Kingman AZ. And the road from Kingman to Oatman is the Historic Route 66. The last 8 miles or so is some of the twistiest bit of road you have ever seen. Twisty road + MINI Cooper= FUN!!!
We stopped at the Visitor Center before heading up the road.

We arrive in Vegas

After two days hard driving we arrive in Vegas. Here is a shot of our dear Edward from our hotel room at the Palace Station hotel. As you can see there were already quite a few MINI's there.

After leaving Pocatello we went on to Draper to meet up with some people from the Utah MINI club. We stopped just out of Draper to gas up. Edward came out ot enjoy the view. Some wondered if he had been there all along :)

What Happens in Vegas ends up on Blogger ;)

Well it was a whirl wind trip! But what fun we had. We headed down to AMVIV ( A MINI Vacation In Vegas) Yup a convention of sorts just for MINI cooper cars. Rather fitting knowing Edwards love of cars. He would have appreciated a lot of them too, as ther were some really speedy modded ones too. His ride for this trip was Our own 06 British Racing Green JCW Cooper S. "Sheamus Pop Cooper".

We left Calgary at 5:30am on the 24th of March and made it to Pocatello, ID by evening. Just a pitt stop but the Comfort Inn has fresh made cookies every evening at 8pm. Worth the... cough bit of speed cough... to get some in time ;) Here is a pic of Edward on Sheamus' roof. As you can see by the bit of snow and ice it was a tad cold.
