I drove part of the way today. And wouldn't you know, I got the stretch that is still two lane highway on Highway 58 going into Barstow! (It was four lane when I started...) This stretch of highway goes through the Mojave Desert by Edwards Air Force Base and the Twenty Nine Palms Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center. Lots of area for airplane test flying and training.
As you approach the eastern border of California on Interstate 40, the ground again begins to rise as you drive between the Piute Mountains.
Until you descend again and get your first glimpse of the mighty Colorado River --
Which divides the State of California from that of Arizona!
We then took Highway 95 east and south to Lake Havasu City and the Lake Havasu RV Park --
People were sitting outside at the RV Park enjoying the high seventy degree weather. These oleanders along the fence were starting to bloom --
The fence at the edge of the park looks out over the sandy desert. I spotted this flock of California Quail watching the sunset --
Aren't they pretty creatures with their little top-knots?
I had to stop and watch the sunset as well. It was gorgeous tonight!
Auntie Violet reflects the sunset glow as well. This is the first back-in site we have had in several days. It was a bit of a pain to have to unhook Toad II, but Forry thought it was probably good to run the engine after towing it for several days...
