Holy crap it’s still hot at 8am in the morning… so Vegas is going to be 116 today… seriously why is this place in the middle of a desert? Driving to
Los Angeles involves crossing more large expanses of desert, which are often up hill and want to kill you and your car… Well we are in
California at last. Once we hit civilization in CA there was an agricultural inspection stop. The inspector asked us where we were coming from, and then for some reason I was picked out to search my trunk… I think I said “good luck with that” and tried to not laugh because almost everything I own is packed in there. I opened the trunk and after one look at how much crap I have in there it was okay you can go.
Never thought I would be so happy to see a never ending wall of LA smog, which came along with a 30 degree temperature drop. So yeah LA quickly lived up to its tales of smog and traffic. The visibility was maybe a quarter mile if you were lucky and for some reason all 5 lanes on all 7 high ways were full of traffic at 2 in the afternoon. Once we got settled we set off for Beverly Hills/Bel Air and Holly wood. I have never seen so many nice cars… we were sitting at some light and there was a geo metro on my side… but 2 BMWs in front, a Bently and Ferrari behind, and a Lotus flying by in the other direction. After looking at all the ridiculously large houses we walked down Hollywood Blvd and saw all the stars and hand prints in front of the Mann Chinese Theater.
Unfortunately while driving around someone brought to my attention that I had a flat … which made life difficult. After bouncing between gas stations to pump it up I bought some leak sealer hoping to fix the problem till I can get to Folsom. I’m going to keep an eye on it for the rest of the drive.
And for the record… it’s catching on… (If you don’t get it don’t worry)
