The pink area is the fire site? Gee, that is scary. I tried to get a spot at the Julia Pfeiffer Burns SP but that was all booked up... I guess Ill just have to work this bit out closer to the time.

Good point on Valley of Fire - I forgot to list that on my 'must-see' list above but have seen that profiled on the main RTA site before and definately want to do that. I guess need to sit down with my map and work out a route between the various places. To me, as a European, gas may be cheap as water but, at 5 bucks a gallon in places, even I have limits. The trip that I am currently on has been pretty insane in terms of miles and my credit card has taken a fair hit!
