OK, Here is a much needed update.

Xanthracroid on the phone with his wife promising her we will be home by Wednesday night.

Here is some of the weirdness that is the Denver airport. We didn't pass the apocalyptic murals in but we did pass a Myan looking area that i could not find a sign or anything saying what it was.

The next morning we were up early enough to catch the sunrise over what I think was part of the San Bernadino mountain range.

And finally after driving it around made the deal on the 68 Baja

Here is a video of us cutting through the Mojave national preserve with the car already starting to act up. =] Should have probably stuck with the highway but we couldn't resist. I know it doesn't look very fast or rough but it was and we were booking it. The car did great too.

This is about the time I realized how bad the bug was running. It was loading up and losing power. Pulled over and adjusted the carb. Leaned out the Air Fuel a little and it helped but it was still not right. Here is the place we stopped to do the adjusting at the first time

On the way to vegas we decided to cut through the Mojave national reserve even though the bug was starting to act up. We figured what the heck when is the next time we will ever be right here. The landscape is pretty Barron, Some Joshua Tree's and what I call scrub brush is all you can see for quite a ways.

Then we came to a visitors center and decided to take a break.

Adam "Xanthracroid" checked the map to see how far we had to go.
