M-I-C...Cya real soon. K-E-Y...Why, because we've stared our trek back to Ohio.
Well, our cross-country trip officially started when we left Anaheim on Saturday. But before we get to that, there was a tiny little matter of buying a vehicle. After days and hours of scouring the greater Anaheim and LA area, we finally found the perfect Jeep Grand Cherokee. The frustrating part is, it was the very first one we looked at after we got off the plane. Oh well, we can pretty much direct you to any dealership in the area. But you should definitely buy from our guy just because his name is Jafar Bazar.
So we left Anaheim Saturday night and (thanks to Mom and Dad Hobbs) stayed at a very nice Marriott in Hesperia, which is on the way to Barstow.
After leaving there the next morning, we headed east and hit the world famous (not really) ghost town of Calico. Once we found out only 1/3 of it was original and it cost $6/person to get in, we quickly headed back to the freeway. But along the way, after passing a pet cemetery we quickly threw it into reverse and traveled down a dirt road (literally). While the pet cemetery was creepy, the burned out car, trespassers will be shot sign and crazy hillbilly running the establishment from his trailer was even more frightening.

Next we took a side road through the Mojave Desert and through the largest Joshua tree forest in the U.S. If anyone has seen the movie Breakdown, this is what it felt like. It was very beautiful, but very haunting- like the eyes of Kurt Russell.
After tearing Leslie away from Pete's, we at last hit the home stretch to Vegas for two nights of pure joy. Well, for me anyway.
