Galloping Home

Alkaline lake just South of Lone Pine on Highway 395. The air was white with the salt whipped up from the dry lake bed, by the howling wind. We camped in a very nice RV Park just North of this lake/South of Lone Pine. The camper teetered and shook all night long!

The LONG road headed across the desert! Nothin' but wind, sagebrush and jackrabbits!

Joshua Trees - named after Joshua by the early (Mormon?) pilgrims who thought they looked like Joshua lifting his hands to God

The plan today was to head from Yuma to Joshua Tree National Park. HOWEVER, it seems that once the truck is headed North, the horse is headed to the barn! Starting at a trot - -then a canter - -and then a full-on gallop!
Despite high wind warnings, we made it up highway 395 to Lone Pine.
