After we left Ojai, California, we made our way through the hills to Victorville, California. It’s kind of like being in Presidio. There isn’t much out there but greasewood, sand and a scorching sun.
After Victorville, we headed off to Vegas where we spent the night at Treasure Island. Before we made it to the Nevada state line, we hit this huge hill where we start out at 115 ft above sea level and at the top of the hill, it’s 4000 ft above sea level. We wasted more gas climbing that hill and when we got to the top, they were selling gas for $5 bucks a gallon! Highway robbery!
We parked the Tahoe pulling the LC in the garage at TI and headed out at 6 am the next morning. It was surprising to see the sun shining at 5 am but nonetheless, we headed out.
Somewhere between Hoover Dam and Kingman, Arizona I noticed something going very wrong. The fiberglass top on the LC was starting to come loose. All of the sudden, it comes off, lands on the highway and busts into a hundred pieces. I couldn’t believe it. We turned around and got out to find it in such disrepair that we left it on the side of the road.
After that, it was a long, long ride back to Lubbock.
