Into the Desert and Las Vegas

After Sequoia I headed into the lower Central Valley (Bakersfield area) and then into the Mojave. This area is hot generally, but they were going through an excessive heat wave and the temps were hitting 108. I kept my riding hours short and left at 6am arriving at my destinations by 10:30when it was already 90-95. I spent motel nights in Tehachapi (nice little town) and Barstow (not such a nice town!) but I had a bed and the ac worked! I ordered Door Dash! I went from Barstow to Las Vegas and checked into the Park MGM POOL and it was great. Nancy came about an hour later. We had a great time! Las Vegas is not our cup of tea but we had a great time anyway. Nancy won a whopping $21.50 on the slots! Nan’s good friend from LA, Kathleen Marshall, joined us on Day 2. We took in shows - Cirque du Soleil and Postcard from Earth at the Sphere, which is a very cool futuristic venue. There was a robot that was answering questions from the crowd! Was interesting and a bit weird!Les mer
