i think it was 110 in the mojave desert as we drove through. the car windows were hot when you pressed your hand on them.
chanda had first wanted to camp here . . ! we were just passing through, however, trying to make bakersfield so we wouldn't have as many miles the next day into san francisco.
only 23 miles to barstow and our denny's lunch . .
the beautiful mojave!
this was taken after our lunch, when we were getting back on the road to bakersfield.
gradually the desert gave way to the brown hills surrounding bakersfield . .
they're so beautiful.
i didn't expect the outskirts of bakersfield to be so beautiful . .
but it was and i couldn't stop exclaiming over the scenery. i imagine it was a bit tiresome to listen to!
you can see the central valley of bakersfield looming up ahead on the horizon. they grow so much here: carrots, almonds, pistachios, strawberries, cucumbers, beans, lemons, limes . .
the hotel we stayed in. i can't remember its name, but chanda and i had a nice swim in the pool.
our friend clyde grew up here. i texted him and sent him pics.
