US Road Trip 2012 - Day 11

Thursday, March 15, 2012

We packed up and left the relative splendor of Vegas and our suite, heading west again. This time we followed I-15 south in California for a while, before turning north at Barstow and west again at Bakersfield.

The dry lakes and desert and southern California was framed by the ever present craggy hills. Before long, we were driving through orange groves and vineyards, as we hit Paso Robles and turned north again for San Francisco.

Long day, with nearly 1000 km from Vegas to SF and some traffic once we got there, at which point Jane made herself incredibly useful in allowing me to drive in the carpool lane. We arrived before dark and settled into our hotel on Lombard Street for a good night's sleep.
