We left Pasadena this morning and headed back to I15 to get to Victorville Ca. to visit the Route 66 museum that was closed earlier in the week. When we arrived at the museum we were glad to see that it was open. It was a great museum but the most interesting thing that happened was that when I looked at the other people in the museum they looked very familiar to me. It turned out the 13 Norwegians that we had seen almost two weeks earlier in Miami Oklahoma in the Coleman Theater were now crossing our path again. We all had a good laugh about running into each other after all the time that had elaspsed. It turns out they had spent some time on side trips to the Grand Canyon and to New York New York in Las Vegas.
This hula girl was rescued from a dump. It had once been part of a restaurant along Route 66.
After leaving Victorville we followed Route 66 back to Barstow CA. Along the way we came across the Bottle Tree Ranch. I am having trouble getting pictures into my blog again but when I figure it out I will add some interesting photos of this most unusual place. Obviously the person who created this place was a welder with a great imagination.
Our original plan was to stay in Barstow before heading for Las Vegas tomorrow. We wanted to eat lunch at Peggy Sue's diner in Yermo which is east of Barstow and after lunch we decided that may be going to Primm on the Neveda side of the California/Nevada border would be more fun.
There are three casinos in Primm. The Whiskey Jack casino had the car that Bonnie and Clyde were killed in plus quite a display of artifacts and a great video of how they become outlaws and how they were tracked down. The other two casinos were interesting as well and allowed us to practice our video poker skills for Las Vegas.
