Leaving Las Vegas... 4 Real


Staying true to form, we got another late start today. After getting supplies and finding the route, it had to have been 2:45 by the time we hit the road. We got stopped by the Nevada Highway Patrol after about 10 miles on Interstate 15. The officer told us to get off at the next exit and travel the service road. We did that for about 12 miles and then got back on I-15 and traveled that for another 15 miles. We did about 42 miles total and stopped for the night at Whiskey Pete's Casino and Hotel in Primm, NV. Primm is right on the Nevada/ California border. We have 26 miles to the first rest area and then about 25 more miles until we get to Baker,the home of the world's largest thermometer. It is hot and this is the REAL desert, so I have to go before it gets too hot. Los Angeles here we come!
