On our way south this year we went on a few different roads. My navigator (Gulliver) can't make up his mind whether to follow Stupid (my term for our gps) or the mapquest directions or the map (which he can't read anyway).
However, even though the drive was a bit farther and it took us a bit longer, it was nice to see some different scenery for a change as we usually go the same way every year. That would be the shortest and fastest.
We almost ran out of gas on one of our detours (nice word for wrong turn) though. That little car never ever held that much gas, so we were on fumes for sure.
But we made it.
Anyhow we decided to carry on with our back road detours and drive through the Valley Of Fire. It's not very long but it was worth the drive through the park. It was very warm there also and we had too many clothes on. It wasn't long after that we were stopped on the side of the road and digging out the shorts and lighter tops for a quick change.
The plan was to avoid Vegas but another wrong turn was in the cards. It was a good trip anyway and we were anxious to get there as we had made the decision to leave the RV park and go house hunting.
