Laughlin part 2
Just some shots of the trip down and back, for those of you who’ve never driven through our “scenic” desert landscape.
In the summertime the temperature will be around 120+ during the day, so cars will overheat, and it’s a long ways between gas stations.
The turn at Railroad Pass.
Just outside Searchlight, where the road goes from 2 lanes to 1 lane. here you need patience, because this is where you get passed by old ladies in walkers.
And this is beautiful downtown Searchlight
The first view of laughlin.
Can you imagine crossing this on foot?
This is Golden Valley, outside of Kingman.
It looked to me like the only industry in that part of the world is selling realestate.
Near the sign that says “next services 75 miles.” And yet people are living all over out here.
The view or lack there of, from the hill just as you enter Henderson.
There really are mountains out there.
And we’re breathing this.
