Day 4 - Kingman, Arizona to Los Angeles, California.

We've arrived. God, We love LA! but first, a word about Kingman,
Arizona. We strongly urge any travelers to avoid Kingman, Arizona if
at all possible. The Mobil gas station right down the street from
the "crappy" hotel we stayed at last night, was so rude, and
dishonest. The attendant overcharged me for coffee, and then became
beligerant and verbally abusive when I called him out on it. The
entire town, in our opinion, exists solely to "fleece" the occasional
tourist, travelling through. Unfortunately, we were those occasional
tourists this time around, but, we are posting this to try and save
some other happy go lucky travellers from the rude "nickel and
dimeing" little "town". (pictures of the Mobil station below)
Crossing into California, we had to be checked out by the Border
Patrol lol. We also had to cross the grand canyon (they are doing
a "high flow") the water was 4 times it's usual. ...... cool!
Then we went to the beach for sunset. We're
here. We had a good
trip. Now the fun begins......
