Darren went to Cross Vegas- (a weekend full of bikes, retailers and riding/seeing all the bike gear) many years ago. Since then we have tried to make it down. Two years ago he had to fly home from it immediately because we had a family scare. The year after that he was hit by a driver who was on her phone ... so we had to cancel that trip. SOOOO this year was our year. We were going to make it no matter what.
THEN!!!
The freeway washed out. Yep. Seriously! Heavy rains, mass flooding and when we were two hours away from Las Vegas they detoured us 7 hours, but at least they let us through. The trip was so long and so slow because it was the ONLY road that went to Las Vegas that at one point I even got out and ran for a few miles. The cars were moving slow enough! Semi trucks were pulled over and parked on the roads for several days. Just waiting to get through.
But we made it .. to most of the event anyway. No kids. Bikes. Husband. Warm weather. We had a great time. We were just glad we weren't these folks who had about 8 miles of stopped traffic trying to get through the one open road!
