Needles. Ca was at 118 degrees on my trip home. I hope your AC is in great shape. I have the Griffith's 4 condenser system and it is great, but 118 made it struggle to keep me cool. I never got hot, and when I got to Arizona and it had cooled down 15 degrees to just 103 the AC was doing great.
Glen...You forgot to mention that in Needles is the world largest Thermometer .
In Barstow i love the In&out burger, worth the stop..
Another trip with my dad..back in 1997
