After spending the weekend at the Rio in Las Vegas, Nevada we made the mistake of leaving for Los Angeles at 2:30pm. Needless to say the traffic was terrible, our normal three hour drive home took a little over five hours.
When we pulled onto the freeway from the casino I noted the temperture was a toasty 116 degrees, so the heat back home didn't quite compare to this heat at all. Just twenty miles outside of Las Vegas we ran into a Summer shower, with lightning and thunder.
We stopped in Baker, California for gasoline and snacks, and while fueling the truck I took this picture of the Baker thermometer. It reads 127 degrees, but the weather reports claim the high was 119 today in Baker. Anyway you look at it, it was hot as hell.
The trip was fun, but it's nice to be home again.
