USA trip 2009 - part 2 - road trip

After three days in LA, it was time to rent a car, and drive to Vegas. We got to rent a convertible mustang, and it wasn't to bad a price. It did cost a bit extra for one way rental, but divided by the four of us, it was a really good price.

We drove of in the morning, around 10. Did a small stop close to the Hollywood sign, to take some pictures, but pretty soon we were on our way.

We got great instuctions from the guy at our hotel, so getting out of the city was easy. The road to Vegas is mostly on a freeway going throug desert. We did get off it a few times and had some stops here and there.








First one was in Barstow, where we just had to go in to a "99cent store", just to have been there. We also had a small stop at a MCDonals, at "Peggy Sues diner" and we had a small photoshoot in a parkinglot in the middle of nowhere.







The weirdes and scaryest part of the trip was when we turned of the freeway to look for a gost-town Espen had read about. We went on a tiny road for at least 30 minutes stright out in to the desert. When we finaly got there it was getting dark, and what we found was this house next to a railroad track. It was so quiet there, and so incredible creepy!! I felt like I was in a horrormovie, and I ended up just sitting in the car. It was insane! The house was filled with clothes and someones stuff, newspapers and coffecups. Super creepy!!

After that is was about a 45 minute drive to Vegas. Came in at night, and it was
amazing!

So if you're thinking about driveing from LA to Vegas, I'd so recommend it.
