Barstow KOA
Barstow, CA
We left Vegas around 9am and I can't discuss it because "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" ;>)
We drove 156 miles south on I-15 through some very barren rolling hills and valleys. We arrived at the KOA in Barstow just after noon.
This is a typical KOA with gravel everything, but nice size sites....
They have a pool and other amenities, but obviously not real attractive...
So far not too many RVs here...
In the distance you can see (and we can hear) 18 wheelers on I-15...
And those are the Calico Mountains in the distance (apparently in CA they put the name on things so they don't forget ;>) )
After we got all set up we checked our Trip Advisor App and decided to go to the #1 restaurant in Barstow, Peggy Sue's Diner.
Apparently this is a very popular place because we had to wait 20 minutes for a table. This was a very nostalgic place with 50s music, pictures covering the walls of Hollywood and recording stars from the 50s, and waitresses in 50s diner outfits. The food was OK, not great, but this place is all about the atmosphere.
They had a 5 and dime store... with a soda bar...
...and we even spotted Elvis there.
On Monday we'll be taking the RV over to a repair shop in San Marcos where they will be repairing and repainting the two small fiberglass stress fractures in the underside of the nose. Those are the ones I got from going over a high centered railroad crossing in Waveland, MS..... won't forget that anytime soon :>). The repairs should only take a day or two and then we head over to an Escapees park called Jojoba Hills in Aguanga, CA which is southeast of Temecula.
