Hoover Dam to Indio

 Leaving the dam we stopped for gas at Boulder City - Andy's newest favourite place. He ended up talking to everyone, including the dude who owned this rig and the normal 5 minute fill took 20minutes! I have a feeling we will return here.
 This road went straight for 17 miles with not one bend in it - a million ups and downs and bumps every time I tried to take a pic, but no corners.
 Finally after a 5hour drive at an average speed of 80miles an hour we arrived in Indio, just out of Palm Springs and met up with Gina and Phil, very good friends of Kathrn and Mike.
 We had an awesome night with these guys and shared lots of laughs and a whole heap of hospitality. I recall feeling distinctly tired the following day!
