ADAC MX Masters in Gaildorf

So, here we are, off to the big event. This year Zach and Helen joined us for the weekend. I know I said this last year, but I can't believe that Gaildorf hosts this big Moto Cross event. I'm also amazed of how close we could get. Once again, it was pretty fun.



















This was the younger group. The boy that won this race was only 11 years old.





Here they are lining up.





And there they go. That first curve is a very crucial spot.















Las Vegas

This was our RV Spot in Vegas.



As you can see, it is the best RV Park in Vegas :-)!







After giving back our RV we took a taxi to the New York New York hotel in downtown Vegas where we spent our last night. The next day we flew out early, first to Minneapolis, then Detroit, and finally Frankfurt. There we caught a train to Gaildorf and there we took a taxi home. Wow what an adventure!

This was the view out our window. Yup, there's a roller-coaster on the roof.



And this was the entrance hall.



This gives you a good view of the hotel.















We had dinner at the Rainforest Restaurant



This was our appetizer sampler....yummy!

Back to Vegas

This was our final stretch, from Park City to Las Vegas about 425 miles.

From Idaho Falls, Idaho to Park City, Utah - about 250 miles





On our trip through Salt Lake City we decided to take a detour and stop in Park City to do some shopping at the famous Outlet Mall. The shopping was great fun and we found some very good deals but the best of that day was that Megan was able to come out and meet us for dinner! What a treat that was! Please notice the store we decided to pose in front of.



From Yellowstone to Idaho Falls

The next stop after we left Yellowstone was Idaho Falls, about a 170 miles drive. These are some pictures of this stretch.

Look at this handsome man!!





After we left the Park we ran into some serious construction. It was gravel and pot holes for about 8 miles. But while we were waiting for our turn to go we made a friend.

Yellowstone - Geysers

We really liked seeing all the Geysers, it was very impressive. It was too difficult to narrow them down to just a few, so here are many of the best shots.













Mammoth Hot Springs Terraces

















Mud Pot





We arrived at Old Faithful just 5 minutes before he went off...I would say that is great timing!
