Day 15 - The desert




Today we had to leave our hotel in San Diego. :-( Most unfortunate since it was looking to be a beautiful day. It was about a 5 hour drive to Henderson, NV. We had a long overdue car wash as we left. In Hesperia we finally got Eve to an In and Out Burger. All the food on the menu was Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Double-Double (double meat, double cheese) and Fries. All orders are prepared to order. Very cool and dang tasty too! Our one road side stop came in Baker, CA where we saw the World's Largest Thermometer and an unexpected curiousity the Bun Boy Motel. I don't even wanna know! Finally we arrived at Eve's mom's in Henderson. We all went to fun dinner at the Macaroni Grill in Henderson. Driving through the desert was interesting. I can't believe people live there! It was 103 degrees!!

I'm glad the beach was good to you folks. BIG change going from the beach to the desert! I remember when I first saw the desert: I thought, "Why would anyone live there?!?!?" I've now lived in the desert (in my underground cave) for 25 years; and I miss it (the desert, that is) when I'm away. Within a few hours I can be in any kind of landscape and /or weather I want to be in, then come back to the sunshine. Plus I have the best stars.

Oh! You should have asked a Californian (a Californian that lives in California; not like my niece who is a tranplanted Californian)about the In-N-Out Burger. I would have told you about the 'secret menu'. Check it out at http://www.in-n-out.com/secretmenu.asp

lOVE YOU ALL
GLAD YOU ARE SAFE
