Travel from Williams, AZ to Lake Mead, Boulder City, NV

We drove our coach 183 miles, 3.5 hours non-stop, from Williams, Arizona to Lake Mead, Boulder City, Nevada.

Here’s the map, going right to left (or heading west, if you prefer):

A truck clipped our mirror, crossing the center line. Doesn’t seemed to have done more than scrape it, but it was rather disconcerting:
