CA to AZ/Bullhead City

A few of the casinos at Laughlin. I left a little of my money at one of them. I'm sorry, I left a little of Tommy's money there. I don't have any money, I keep forgetting that.

This is the entry to all the casinos, it seems.

This is the sign on the Nevada side just across the river.

Another sign at the Arizona, Nevada border.

This is the view of Laughlin, NV from our park.

And this is our spot. This is a really nice park except that at this time of year it is really too hot. The temperature was 114 degrees. We stayed a couple of days and couldn't stand the heat so we left before our time was up. We couldn't keep our airconditions going because of the heat.

The driveway to the park where we stayed.

This is the sign at the resort where we stayed. Across the road from the park is Laughlin, NV. It looks like a small version of Las Vegas. At night it looked beautiful from our spot at the park. It is all lit up.

Here's one of their signs. They had a few different signs around the area.

Bullhead City AZ is our next stop.

We finally got to Needles CA and as you can see they do have diesel. We stopped at a service station to fuel up and diesel was pretty expensive, but then we never know how much it would be down the road and if we can get into the service stations. Anyway we got our fuel and left and probably a mile down the road into AZ, the fuel was a dollar less per gallon. I just don't understand how people can do that. They probably get their fuel from the same distributor. Oh Well!!!

And again the terrain is a little different.

He's resting his hands on his legs.

We stopped at this roadside park after we left Barstow.

And here we are at Barstow.

We were going to stop overnight at Boron because some friends told us they normally stop there but when we passed by there, they were doing construction so the park was closed. So we went on to Barstow.

And then there's bunches of these electric turbines in the middle of nowhere.

There's two different trains here going at the same time in opposite directions.

I thought this train looked a little different. It just kind of looks like a giant snake in the desert.

And just as sudden it starts growing trees, not big trees, but enough to show alot of green on the hills and roadways. It's just really amazing.

Then all of a sudden it starts growing rocks all over the place.

It just seemed like right outside of Bakersfield CA when we turned off the Interstate, the terrain was so very different all of a sudden. As far as you could see it looked like this. Miles and miles of desert, windey and sometimes long stretches of straight roads, up the hill and down the hill kind of thing. I've never been to Saudi Arabia but to me this is what I think it must be like.
