Interstate 15
Roadtrips are always fun. It does take hours, or even days longer than taking a plane, but when taking a plane, one misses out on the breathtaking views one can find along the way.
Almost a year ago, we drove on Interstate 15 – a roadtrip from Las Vegas back home to San Diego. Its usually a 5-hour drive but it took us about 7 or more, having some stops along the way. We crossed more than 50 miles of the Mojave Desert, which could have been an interesting place to explore, but given the 100-degree weather and not being allowed to stop on freeways, I settled with taking photos from our car.
We left Vegas in the afternoon, so it meant that by sundown, we would still be on the road. I loved the colors of the sky and the silhouette of the mountains, electrical posts and radio towers. They were so simple, yet so beautiful given the perfect time of day.
