The journey through the desert

Our last full day of the trip included the journey back to Las Vegas where we started this road trip. After several days back in civilization, we had to make one more stop in a national park - after all, it is the centennial celebration of America's national parks!  We left behind the hustle and bustle of LA for some driving and hiking in Joshua Tree National Park.



Following our visit to Joshua Tree, we made the long ride through the desert back to Las Vegas. We met up with Tina and Tommy (sister and father of Tara) for dinner and then some sites along the Vegas strip. After a long day, we settled down for a short night of sleep before our early morning flight back home to PA.

Day 13 was our flight home. All told, we spent 12 days on the road driving 2054 miles around California and Nevada.

We had the pleasure of seeing some amazing sites in our national parks as well as along the California coast. We also had the good fortune to spend time with our friends Tara, Tyler, Tina, and Tommy (apparently people who live on the west coast have names that start with "T").  As they say... a good time was had by all.

BTW... there were no "Angry Sal" sightings on this trip!
