How This Travel Journal Works....It's in Reverse

For those of you familar with blogging, you will be aware that there is a sequence. The beginning is at the end of this blog and the end is the next entry.  (Does that make sense?)

So if you are interested in driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, scroll down to the beginning.  There are 15 days of information about places to see, routes to follow, maps, photos and general personal notes.

We had a wonderful trip....!

Day 14 - Needles to Los Angeles, California

Time to head home.  There are 2 ways to do this trip.    The shortest way is through Barstow and over the mountains.  It is about 250 miles and will take you the best part of a day driving through the desert.  You can stop in Barstow for a meal if you are happy to dine on fast food.  There is also a huge Factory Outlet on the west side of the town:

We drove through Palm Springs.  That is a longer trip with yet more desert but you might want to consider stopping in Palm Springs for a night.  Plenty to see there.  The drive this was will take at least 5 hours (293 miles):

Trip done!  Think we might try this one again some time.
