LA back to TX




Arriving LA Tue night, next day go out wondering part of the LA and rent a van for next day so I can go to LAX to pick up my wife and kids. Stay in Long Beach with families and attended a wedding there. Tuesday morning start head into a hot journey back to TX. I took I-15 from LA to Las Vagas. Start out at noon and got into Las Vasgas 5:30pm, it was a torcher ride 110 degree. Meet up with my friends and wife at the Harrah casino for the night. Next morning head out to a Wal-Mart parking lot check the drive belt before head back home. From Las Vasgas to the Hoover Dam instead of heading north to Utah I decided it was too hot and a month long in the trip already. I headed south to Kingman AZ hit I-40 and head east all the way Winslow AZ 4:00 pm Saw a big storm a head hang around there check on the weather to see how bad is in front. Meet to cross country bikers from LA to NY all wet they told me it was nasty ahead that's why they turn around. We all start looking for a room for the night at Winslow. Next day I head out very early 5:30 am try to pass the next storm come in and it.s cooler to. Driving for about 2 hrs all the clouds are behind me and the sun came up. Stop for breakfast then head to Lubbock, TX 8:00 pm last night for hotel for this trip. Another early started 6:00 am from Lubbock got to Austin 1:00 pm.
