Day 15 Zion to Las Vegas

Start Miles 9240
End Miles 9406
Total Miles 166

On our way to Las Vegas, just outside of Zion National Park is the Virgin Trading Post. Sorry Mouse, we wouldn't get much for you in the old west. Haha, just kidding, its in the town of Virgin, UT. You've got to have a sense of humor to live in a crap town with such a name. The woman who worked there was quite the character. Apparently, her sister who's been married 8 times, yes, 8 times, just moved to Virgin. Not many virgins in Virgin. The Virgin Trading Post was just a souvineer shop that had a funny little wild west town outside of it to walk through and some asses you can feed carrots to. Funny all the well.

We ended up in Vegas before 8 and did a little drive down the strip. Sin City is quite the city. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. End of story.
