Backlogue: Wagons East!

We left SoCal Tuesday morning, having taken in most of the Golden State's fruits and nuts. Our next destination was to Las Vegas, Nevada to take in their wonderful offerings of volumes and volumes of books in their numerous libraries. Then we would awake early to go to church and then help the less fortunate and volunteer to walk three-legged dogs being saved from euthenasia. It would go on to be a truly soul-cleansing experience.

In order to get there we had to take route 15 from California across the Nevada border. And although 15 doesn't claim to be the mecca of kitsch that, say, route 66 can be it does have its share of attractions, such as:



The world's largest thermometer.













107! Wow! Good thing we were in the middle of the desert, or that reading would be something to be concerned about!


And Zzyzx Road!









What a name! Zzyzx! It's a road that takes you to the Mojave Desert Natural Preserve.


It was simply a 4 hour drive, quite refreshing after the numerous 9 or more hour days of driving we've had in the past.


So long, California!
