Leaving Las Vegas*

Sunday.

Daytime Las Vegas looks more friendly than I remembered it from 6 years ago. We wake up late after this short night and therefore, miss the free pancake and coffee breakfast that this KOA offers. Since the check-out is at 11am, we just have a cup of coffee before leaving the campground, heading over to see the famous 'Fabulous Las Vegas' sign. It is almost noon and we still haven't eaten breakfast, so we stop at Target, on the outskirts of the city where we have our first Starbucks coffee of this trip. A frozen one.

Now it's time to hit the road again towards Los Angeles. We would like to spend the night in one of the State Parks around San Bernardino, but we don't get this far. The night was short, the day, too, and now the evening sun makes it really hard to drive and see. After some 40 miles on the historical Route 66 with - guess what: nothing! - we end up in Victorville, on a shabby campground as it seems. This one used to be a KOA, it still is in the catalog, but all KOA signs are covered. We have another BBQ with marshmallows for desert. Yummy!
