Yesterday morning we went to the Route 66 Museum in Barstow and explored the history of The Mother Road and looked at the various types or memorabilia there. Now it was time for us to head out on Route 66 for a few minutes anyway until we got back onto the interstate highway to stop at Needles for lunch then drive through Bullhead City before reaching our destination of Laughlin. We drove much of the stretch from Needles along the Colorado River - the temperature out here is 120F or about 47C - incredibly hot!
After a wander around the Aquarius Casino Resort, our home for 2 nights, we strolled along the river in a little bit of shade then had a quick look at the outlet mall over the road before catching up with Jeff & Julie. Needless to say we had a big night - drinks, dinner, gambling, more drinks then late to bed!
Today was a lazy day with time spent by the pool and taking a cruise along the Colorado River. It certainly has some current here! Tomorrow we move on to Palm Springs the San Diego after that.
