Howard Johnson Exp Victorville

We headed out about 630 in the morning. Jono, Michael, Steve and I met a the Chevron down the street from my house. We decided to go north through Pearblossom and the Mohave Deseret.

Headed north on the 15 toward Las Vegas and stopped here in Barstow for breakfest.

We'll see how exciting the freeway is and how far I get. Not my favorite kind of road but I am kinda looking forward to reaching AZ sooner rather than later. Not a California person I guess.
The freeway was the usual semis, motor homes and lots of gusty wind. Rte 99 is not a well-groomed highway but gutted it thru until Bakersfield to stop for rest and gas. Then it was out into the Mojave, love those joshua trees. A little further out into the desert ...

Drove from Vegas (late as usual) to the Hoover Dam about 26 miles away. We drove across the Dam after going through security as its the 6th biggest terrorist target in the US. After parking up in the RV car park we walked to the Tours office in 126f heat !!!!! It was windy and felt like a hairdryer !!!! Tour was great and explained what happened and ...

Leaving Hollywood Christina, Brook and I hit the famous highway 15 en route to Las Vegas, a trip millions of a LA and Las Vegas residents do regularly. It seems to be a break from each other's cities madness and the norm.

Brook entertained us with his random lyrical outbreaks and the sound of nails bashing into a water bucket. Brook was working on his Art project for the week, which was designing a pendulum lamp; it turned out ...

Day 183 Las Vegas - Arizona - Barstow - California. Before we left the City of Sin we chose to have an oil change and service done on the Castle, (How quick do the miles add up between services?) The nearest Wal Mart advertised the service for RV's so this gave us some time to wander around while this was being done. A bit of grocery shopping and then ...

The ride from St George was punctuated with some road repairs slowing things down. But the scenery made up for it, cutting thru mesas going up and down elevations 2000 to 4000 and above, and then the Mojave Desert with Joshua trees (a tree-like form of yucca), scrub grasses and little else. Mountains were layered in mist in the distance. I had been thinking of pushing on to Bakersfield, but then the desire to slow down again and enjoy ...

... Lunch a bit smaller this time with no added chips, salad, potatoe, corn bread etc. Into the outlet malls!! Lots of good shops, excellent prices, stacks of purchases. A new bag purchased by me to allow for clothes and shoes for the family (now it's paying off that I only bought one bag over). Met by new hosts at shops, Paul Courtney and Jose. All the gear thrown in the back of his pickup and 45 mins to Apple Valley. A bit more greenery, some trees, wow! We ...

... I think I better stop there. Just a couple days ago I was remarking on what a beautiful day it was, dipping my hand up and down through the air through the window of a Jannette's car. Now I'll be without friends, alone, no car, and no L.A. Not that I'm complaining. It's just a little difficult to wrap my head around. Two Italians just sat in front of me at the gate. (Try not to stare, Tyler. It's rude.) All right, I stared. But just for a second ...

... I dumped my stuff and got out as soon as I could. I really thought it was a **** hole. But I came to like it heaps. I walked around the beach for a while. I made a friend named Andrew who I hung around with (another Aussie going to a camp). He introduced me to some other Aussies staying there that were going to a camp somewhere in the USA. First night we drank heaps. Andrew and I got a pack of Bud Light. As most of us were under age we just sat in the hostel and ...
