On the Road ~ Saturday, December 19, 2020

Last Wednesday we flew out to Las Vegas to retrieve our car, which we'd left there before Thanksgiving due to a breakdown (fortunately covered by warranty).

On this one-day trip we saw quite a few odd and cool things:

• Atomic bomb test crater
• Plane with peeling paint
• LAS people mover
• Car covered with cool stickers
• Defunct roller coaster
• Jet-powered car
• Graffiti garden
• Active and defunct solar power plans
• Utility pole digger
• Giant sundae
• Mountains of Mordor
• Rusty ship in the middle of the desert
• The Mojave airplane graveyard
• Also at the Mojave airport/spaceport: The Virgin Orbiter. NASA plane used to test Space Shuttle landing gear. F-4 Phantom turned into an experimental drone
• Lots of freight trains
• A very lost caboose
• The Tehachapi Loop
• Track-laying machines
• A trolley-car diner
