Leaving Laughlin this morning, we pulled into Adelanto RV Park four hours and 207 miles later. You know Adelanto don't you?
We decided to drive out of Laughlin on the Needles Highway, which drifts into California just 15 minutes or so south of Casino Dr., and picked up I-40 just west of the town of Needles, CA. Crossing over Old Man Wash and skipping past Peggy Sue's Diner, we cruised through Ludlow and Newberry Springs and into Barstow, California, where I-40 blends into I-15, the main highway between the Los Angeles area and Las Vegas. A very busy, and very important, highway!
Construction in the town of Victorville prevented us from taking the preferred route to the rv park, so Donna quickly got on the iPad and mapped out a circuitous route around town, but one which put us exactly where we needed to be! Thanks, modern technology!
Adelanto, in case you were wondering, is located 16 miles west of Apple Valley and 37 miles east of Pearblossom. No comprende? Ok, it's 76 miles south of Cantil. Now you know where Adelanto is, which is more than 99% of the population of the US can say! Adelanto RV Park is a small, older park, but is perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. The sites are gravel, but the roads are paved, and it is very clean. Roughly 80% of the sites are occupied by long term tenants, but it is quiet, yet near Highway 395, which is a major north-south route through the eastern side of California. We were instructed by the office staff as we checked in to "go down the road and turn in between sites 29 and 30. Go all the way through and you'll be in your site 46". Well, that's just what we did, but the space between 29 and 30 was where 29 parked their car!. Fortunately they were gone, so we squeaked between two rv's, and drove through into our assigned spot after moving 29's chairs and door mat so we wouldn't run over them!
Tomorrow we'll arrive in SoCal to enjoy a visit with my Mom and Sister. I probably won't post for a few days, but will catch up in a few.
