We didn’t even bother showering in that motel. We just dressed and headed out to find some breakfast. After that, it was just a stop at Hoover Dam to go up the pedestrian access to the new bridge and then head on home.
Ken managed to catch me with my eyes shut. Oh well.
The old road across Hoover Dam can be seen from here
This ended up being a very grueling trip for me. Per the trip odometer on the car, we covered 2668 miles in nine days. The following table has the breakdown for the six major travel days. That’s a lot of time to spend in the car.
Leg | Distance, mi | Driving Time, hr | Total Time, hr |
| Mesa to Santa Barbara | 496 | 7.0 | 7.5 |
| Santa Barbara to Fremont | 338 | 7.5 | 12.0 |
| San Francisco to Eureka | 312 | 7.5 | 10.0 |
| Eureka to Manteco | 537 | 9.0 | 11.5 |
| Manteco to Boulder City | 554 | 9.5 | 12.5 |
| Boulder City to Mesa | 291 | 4.5 | 5.5 |
Something is going to have to be done for future trips. I don’t know what though. As I told Ken’s daughter “I would like to come home eagerly anticipating the next trip rather than dreading it.”
