Day 15

Well, we left Las Vegas in the relative cool of the morning and headed for Victorville, California, our last state.  We went across the Mohave desert and shortly after reaching it our tour guide told us to stop and he turned around and went back the way we had come. We were abandoned in the desert!

Apparently one of the group was suffering from heat exhaustion, well it was very hot.  110 degrees Farenheit( 43 degrees Celsius). Shortly after we went through a forest of Joshua trees, which are becoming quite rare. I refused to sit on one after the cacti episode.

  We were soon back on the road and stopped at a place called Kelsoe which is basically just a train depot with a small museum. I tried a cowboy saddle for size while we were there.

We carried on and had a very late lunch ( 4.30) then we went to the Bottle Tree ranch, as seen on Billy Connolly, and met Elmo himself.










We then arrived at our hotel in Victorville, had a meal and went to bed, ready for the last leg in the morning. All feeling quite sad about having  to come home.
