It has taken me 4 hours to get from Vegas to Barstow...could not believe the traffic on a highway through the desert! Uphill all the way...I think the wind is around 70 miles an hour...holdin on man..and sometimes we were doing 20 and sometimes 10 miles and hour..and sometimes stopped all together. holy cow... anyway taking a break in Barstow at flying j where i have internet card...having my lunch gas and oil and on to the last 100 miles to L.A. ..
