Fort Irwin was always cool to visit.

 

Oh me too, its how I was raised, it's almost a curse, I can't every leave the ocean, but for a secondary...I'd be cool with some desert

 

Told you, find me some MTB trails so i can plan a trip

 

My only Barstow memory is being 16 on a cross country drive with a friend and breaking down on the side of the interstate and being towed into Barstow. It was so rough. We left in the middle of the night, packed our belongings into our surfboard bags and walked though desert to a train station and left for the coast. Came back a week later for my truck.

Why i feel like @Prayn4surf has told this same story

 

I have to do the same with my tundra every so often, if you ever figure it out LMK

 

I had a 94 Explorer, the tranny blew up lol

 

I feel like breaking down by barstow is a common thing

 

The tow truck driver and then the mechanic both were like, you don't want to stay here...one said," You know who Erin Brockovitch is? Well, that story is about here. Oh and don't drink the water or get ice cubes." haha

 

Yeah also rent sucks here...like most places I guess, but still

 

@Sperrunner We saw a literal clown pushing an empty grocery cart down the street...seemed like a sign to split

 

She is a saint for putting up with my shenanigans. She is in love with the van so it makes it all easier.

We have an R56 with the N18 engine and three pedals. Great cars for the money. Be warned, there's no room in the engine back and parts are overly complicated. Replacing the thermostat was, a thing. The wiper blades, only available from one vender.... But it's the wife's car and what were we saying? Yeah she is happy with it.

 

barstow has the hill of doom! I always called it the car killer. If your car can make it up and over the ridge to Vegas in the summer, it can make it anywhere!

 

Nothing too fun. More unfinished projects!!! Old computer parts, lots of clothes I forgot I had. Found a box of medical docs and other paperwork from when I had an apartment in Denver with an ex LOL

I need to buy another shredder

 

Wulf sez "that damn e locker was a waste of money, it never works. Should have kept the welded diff"

 

Not as bad as many parts in Vegas though.

@eon_blue and I meeting in Barstow before Utah



On the way back, we ended up at this sketch ass gas station in Vegas. Bathrooms were locked and the attendant inside was behind bullet proof glass

 

@Yota X i seen some plumber scrap the threads on pipe with a sawzall blade before he dope it. Why?
