Leaving Las Vegas

We left Las Vegas last Tuesday, November 1st, and drove to Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California. We got our truck back from the Friendly Ford Body Shop last Friday. It had been in the body shop nearly a month, but they did an outstanding job of repairing the hail damage.

 
Last Sunday I went to the NHRA Mello Yellow Nationals drag races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, just a short drive up Las Vegas Blvd. from our site at Nellis AFB Family Campground. The races were awesome. I thought the best race was the Funny Car final between John Force and his daughter, Courtney Force. John beat his daughter by 2/100th of a second.


 
The drive to Oceanside was about 315-miles. It took us 45-minutes to get out of Las Vegas because of the traffic on I-15. We enjoyed stopping for lunch in Yermo, just outside of Barstow, at Peggy Sue’s 50s Diner.
 
 
We got settled into our campsite here at Del Mar Beach Resort and were treated to our first sunset over the Pacific since we left Maui. We will be here for two weeks.
