I am a bit late with catching up … but – even though I have left the States for now – I would like to share our trip out west. After we drove from Las Vegas through Death Valley National Park, we stayed in Ridgecrest for one night. Ridgecrest was one of the trail towns I stayed at when I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2017.
Las Vegas – it is one of those places that fascinate me: It is somehow ugly and tacky and it offers in general ridiculously too much of everything, but it is also entertaining by offering good dining and a lot of distraction – both, in its many bars, shows and outside the city limits with man-made sights and natural wonders.
