We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert...


Recommended Posts

So I've just booked a 10 day road trip with my mate and brother starting in Las Vegas in October. I love Las Vegas so will do 3 nights but then looking to escape for a road trip that will end up back there in a week or so. I'm wanting classic desert scenery, strong drinks in dusty bars, tumbleweed etc. Basically No Country for Old Men meets Breaking Bad. Ideally without the guns.


Anyone got any tips for planning a route? Or any idea whether I should head south to Mexico or east to Albuquerque?

Monument Valley in Arizona and two National parks in Utah - Arches and Zion - I remember as some of the highlights from doing a Seattle to LA road trip that went via Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. We went to a lake in Utah which I think was lake Powell, that was pretty awesome as well.

I could have died at Owens River Gorge on my way to Vegas (not recommended)


How about Reno, where there's a golden DeLorean ?


See what 'retro rich' looks like and think "am I a schmuck"


It's an existential experience

    • Hi  After a surprising split I find myself trying to furnish a home. If you gave anything that you don't want that may help I'd be so so so grateful if you could let me know please.  Thank you so much 
    • Hallo As far as I know  info you have quoted is wrong.  You can phone for an appointment although I have always found it easier to do online. Go to their website for info on how to book appointments Any requests I have made have been reviewed and answered by a GP within 4 hours
    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others. 
    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky.
