During summer I took a longer roadtrip through Southern California and into Nevada/Arizona. I tried to stay of major freeways as much as possible mainly because I think their boring and make me really tired (a thing that I also happens from time to time when driving my usual German autobahn but usually not during mid day!).
So my trip lead me to stay a night in Palm Springs. From there I headed out to Las Vegas. I wanted a stopp near Barstow to visit Peggy Sue’s Dinner one more time with my family. My Navigation wanted me to take the route via San Bernardino but I saw an alternative route on the map via Yucca Valley. Man that was such a good decision. The Highway 247 makes a beautiful turn through the Johnson Valley. I made a point to use shorter D Tours on the whole trip like using state Route 66 in Arizona instead of the shorter 40 to Flagstaff and back to Vegas.
- king_geedorah 3y agoGreat choice of detour. I lived in Yucca Valley off of 247 for a little while and still get opportunities to visit from time to time. Highly recommend checking out Joshua Tree if you get the chance.
