Laughlin is around 100 miles from Lake Havasu City & on the 17th of Jan they are having Buses By The Bridge. If the weather cooperates for the Myrtle Creek Oregon to Redding California part, the drive all the way down I-5 is a good bet in the winter. Boring but safe winter travel. If you have the time you could take 101 all the way down to SoCal, a good drive any time of the year if you ask me, then head east. If you crossed into the US from Victoria to Port Angeles the only risky part would be the vampires & werewolves down by Forks... and you'd pass my favorite rest area to spend the nite in a VW, "Dismal Nitch" just east of the bridge over the Columbia (on the WA side) going into Astoria. The direct route through WA-OR-ID to Nevada looks to me like a place to avoid to in the winter but I have never tried it so I really don't know. Good luck with the penny slots! Rob vwrobb@gmail.com
