Traveling towards Daughter Cindy's in California

April 27, 28, & 29, 2011

                              

Leaving Page, AZ  we headed for our daughter's in Vacaville, CA.   We stopped by the roadside where a dirt road wound out into the desert in a Critical Environment area.   I was hoping  to spot a tortoise but saw only lizards and grasshoppers.  The blooms were nice though.  I spent a half hour walking on the road.

                                

              It was rough walking but a lovely day.                   There were many thumb size grasshoppers.

                              

                               There were many colors of flowers and they came in  many sizes.

                               

                              

                              

                                                 There were several kinds of cactus.

                              

                                                                And some delicate flowers.

                                        

                                                                           Joshua Trees

                                         It was a nice place for a walk.  We continued on into Utah.

                                   

                                     

                                          We walked through the Fashion Outlet  Mall and got something to eat.

                                    

 

                                 

                                     

                                 

            The parking lot had cute ways to find your vehicle.  Did you park by the heels or the men's shirts or ???

We moved over to spend the night in a parking lot where other RV's and trucks were parked near  Buffalo Bill's Casino which had a Roller Coaster that went completely around the Casino and Hotel.

                                  

In the morning I walked around the Casino and Hotel which took close to 30 minutes.  It looked like a fun ride.

                                  

                                 

                                 

                                   There were numerous train tunnels through the mountains.

                                 

                               O course we had to make fuel stops and Flying J and Pilot are are usual ones.

                                  

                                  

                             Turn off to Cindy's.                                                       Ranch driveway.

                                   

                                                                        We have arrived!
