After ploughing through the snow we made good time and parked at Payson Utah for the night then ran the next morning into Arizona and Nevada. The plan is to stop at Las Vegas on the return leg of the trip so we bypassed The Strip and ran to Primm to do a little retail therapy in the outlet mall there.
Spent more than I bargained for as Toms face lit up when he saw the Nike store, Kenneth Cole and Tommy Hillfiger.
Left there and then called it a day parking at a really cool place in California which was Peggy Sue's 50's Diner. Peggy Sue was a Hollywood Starlet and in 1954 opened a Diner in favour of acting. The place is full of old memorabilia, signed pictures of Hollywood stars and the food is really good. I recommend a visit, dont forget your camera like I did. If you are lucky you may see an old man sat at the end of the bar called Pops, who will happily chat away and ask you a ton of questions, it was after our meeting with him we found out he is Peggy Sue's father and lives next door to the diner.
So, arrived at the first delivery this morning and after a bit off a carry on getting onto the dock was unloaded in quick time, all for a lumpers fee of $40.
Tom spotted another huge outlet mall and once again adidas ,Timberland ,Rockport and suchlike did there best at offloading my hard earned cash.
Its now Tuesday night, we are parked at Ontario California and are an hours drive to my last delivery in Vernon. Hopefully, fingers crossed we will get a load of bananas and be parked in Las Vegas for tomorrow tea time.
