Red Roof Inn Barstow, Ca

... up to Calico by the KOA staff. Calico was a silver mining town in the 1860's. At the height of the mining rush 1500 people lived in Calico. Now, there are 9. It was restored by the man who built Knotts Berry Farm in LA and he gave the town back to the state. We had a look at the all the little shops, the old school house, went on the ...

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

... decided to sip on the camelbak water (desert makes you feel thirsty just looking at it). Hmm, nada. So I stubbornly decided to just go on, there aren't great shoulders here (try none) and I was comfy enough. At the motel, I discovered that the tube got twisted; there is a first time for everything. Just one more thing to file away, esp. when I am nearer to Phoenix and points south where you can count on needing the vest and the water to keep sane.<br>

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 ...

... was bad enough that we lost a hubcap on the way (we were able to retrieve it the next morning). It was a pretty creepy looking Ranch, so much so Brook had to film it on his camera because it resembled the Texas Chain Saw Massacres property.  Arriving at the gate we meet the caretaker who fit in pretty well to his surroundings. He noted, "You guys are really loud" and we had just woke him up... it was 4 in the afternoon. He turned out to ...

... B &amp; B down a number of side streets, I do love the Victorian design of many of the houses here, many have been wonderfully restored. Napa Valley I'm back now, and feeling much better today. We left the B &amp; B and picked up the car, then headed straight for the Golden Gate Bridge and on to Napa valley, on the city side, the bridge was almost invisible however as we drove over to the opposite side it was in sunshine.

... turned into crying, thinking she had broken her nose. A funny picture ensued (see funny picture, yes those are real tears). Sleeping was not an easy task, as creepy footsteps, animal breathing noises, Pickle snores and the cold all tend to distract from fitful sleep.

The next morning, after smoking a joint next to the half-drained motel pool, we packed our things and climbed into the car. We made one more stop before leaving town... we ...
