The day I was days late with blogs

Hello world!
How ya'll doin?
Well it's been an interesting few days since we left Vegas. The drive was not as painful as I had anticipated, Rhys was nice enough to let the fatman sit in the front and this let me relax a little more. Plus I'm sure the back seat had a lot more room thanks to my absence.
For those new to the blog George has joined us for a while through Vegas and San Francisco. It's good to have him along for our adventure. Poor guy had to have the middle seat all the time since he's the slimmest.
All if our luggage ended up covering the drivers view out the back window which I'm sure is quite dangerous. We tried our best to get a view out there but despite our efforts we gave up and decided to rely on wing mirrors. We didn't crash at all. That was good.

On our way to Bakersfield, where we were planning on spending the night to break up the 8 hour drive, we saw some interesting things;
A town called Yermo which was primarily burnt down. There were at least 5 burnt out gas stations which led us to believe that the townspeople got mad, set things on fire and realize how silly it was in the morning, later deciding to build the new one next to it, promptly setting it on fire a few weeks after its completion.
We also visited a 'Ghost Town' called Calico. It was an old mining town which had over 1500 people at it's peak and then ended up having like 8. Turns out ghost town doesn't mean ghosts.
We made our camp in a town called Bakersfield (Where the band Korn come from for those playing at home) and slept at the Motel 6 there. We slotted in a game of mini golf and I made everyone yodel. We them decided it was a good idea to walk half an hour to the cinema to see 'Cabin in the woods' which was really impressive, as to be expected from Joss Whedon. We then realized that Bakersfield has quite a high murder rate. Them walked home.
We're smart.
The drive from Bakersfield to San Francisco was fairly uneventful except that we had American KFC. It was pretty much the same.
I'll try and do a San Francisco blog when we're driving.

Happy Travels,
Reece
