Day #35, Las Vegas NV to Barstow CA

Friday Nov 13, 2009 - Today we traveled from Las Vegas to Barstow with a side trip to Cima to see a ghost town (181 miles).
First thing today we went to the Las Vegas Temple. It is a beautiful building at a impressive location. It's quite a building to drive up on.

Then we went down to the strip and had lunch at the Stratosphere.

These are the photos as we where leaving Las Vegas. That plane looked like it was going to land on the freeway.

At the Nevada & California border we stopped at these casinos. They had major dirt bike races going on the the back. It always amazes me where they can put large casinos.

Then we took a side trip to see a California ghost down. The town did not turn out to be much but it was in interesting ride through the country. Many different kind of cactus. Long narrow straight roads. There was a sign on the road that said "Watch for tortoise on road". We watched but did not see and tortoises.

We stopped at Baker CA to see the worlds tallest thermomerter. You just never know what you will find where.

The Animal of the day. It's a horse. I figure if Susan can use stuffed animals this one will work.

Where to tomorrow?

181 miles--that's quite the side trip. I love the Las Vegas Temple. I'm impressed you found it--it took us two tries the first time we were looking for it. Great pictures.
