We arrived in Overton at 5pm, I booked an old 50's style motel (based on a review of a motorcylist who said it was old but clean) it was deserted & the no vacancy sign was on and no one in the office. Damn was there some emergency and they closed it?
Minor panic set in (50 miles back to vegas, and it's getting cold & tired with no real cold weather gear) then I saw a note on the door,"if you have a reservation call this #,"what the hell?) Called the # and a woman said she will be right over. She drove up in 5 min & I said ya got a room? she said yes & I was relieved!
Anyway it was as the biker said old but clean. The bizzare thing was the no vacancy sign was on all nite, and only about 2 other rooms were occupied (never saw anyone though) The good thing was it was quiet! A McD's was down the block(fillet O'fish fer dinner) and I picked up a sandwich at a store next to it in the morning.
We headed for the Valley of fire sunday morning which was only about 12 miles away. The Duchess lost her "lucky" cameo bandana which said bonehead on it, on this ride. That bandana was worn by Duke also and had traveled thousands & thousands of miles. I always put it on the dogs as a signal they were going on the bike. No worries though I I bought 2 way back when.
We went up to the end road at VOF and went for a hike on the white domes loop trail which I highly recommend!
