Finally -- Leaving Las Vegas

Friday am we were up early early to insure that we were on time for our alignment appointment.  Sure enough, we arrived about 20 minutes early.  We had just parked when a van pulled beside us.  The driver rolled down his window and commented, "I don't have a three axle trailer on my list for this morning."  Imagine our shock--we had even made a back up call, just to be sure the job could be done here and the individual knew we were just sitting around waiting for this appointment.  The driver told us to follow him into the compound.  We did, and soon we were on our way back out because he could not do the work.  Damm--with no dam in sight!!!  Oh well, we did have a back up plan.  We headed to a tire store and got a new tire, tires rotated appropriately and off we headed to California, wishing all the way we had done this on Tueday.  

The desert scenery was interesting.  As we got closer to Los Angeles, there were forests of Joshua Trees.

We called the Airstream dealer in Bell Flower.  He told us not to be in any hurry as he was closing at noon, not to reopen until Tuesday morning.  Great, more sitting and waiting.......

The traffic attempting to leave Los Angeles was amazing to these country mice.  Fortunately for most of the trip into the city our lanes continued to move.

Never have I wanted to visit Los Angeles.  Never did I imagine I would be here--right in the heart of it all.  Never did I imagine the neighborhood a highly recommended Airstream dealer would be located inside.  Yet, here we are.  Across the road are 1950's vintage mobile homes.  The business itself looks like a similar vintage.  

So, Happy Memorial Day weekend from Bell Flower, CA, our weekend destination!  

What a Beach!!!
