Just a quick 'check-in' from here in Nevada , Yesterday we were as usual in trouble again , the Police in 'Furnace Creek weren't too happy with us and our speed through 'His' town , now if anyone is familair with Furnace Creek you will know its not a big place , in fact I am sure it was the town with the 'one ' horse everyone speaks of . full details later , it's bloody HOT here We drove through 'Death valley ' yesterday and it hit 107 for a while , more later .

Another long Day today from the Grand canyon to Coronado in California 550 miles , a few close ones with the 'Sheriff ' again but nothing major, even managed to do some of Route 66 . BIG moment on the Freeway as a lunatic left a sofa fall off a pick-up !!!!!!!!! 4 lanes. all over the place cars spinning and us in the middle of it , was not funny at the time at 90 mph .

Well, theres 4 of us back on this side of the Atlantic again.

Amazing MINI adventure 8)

Great craic, great roads, great weather and great people.
The Oleary's still a few days left though in the States, while we try to get used to dark, miserable, wintery days! :roll:
