Sunset Over Mojave


First night camp was at a rest stop near Boron, CA. in the Mojave desert after 415 miles of driving.  Breakfast in Barstow after getting fuel at a Food for Less store where I replaced the brand new jar of peanut butter I bought at Safeway last week that turned out to be dated "Best by October 11, 2012"!  I guess Planter's peanut butter is not a fast seller.  A reefer truck woke me up at 5:30 in the morning.  That and yesterday's drive caught up with me and I had to pull off for an hour nap before crossing  the Colorado River and entering Arizona...finally.  Called it a day in Kingman, Arizona.

Awww--you're in my old hood! Morning on the Mojave can't be beat but you seem to have passed on Newberry, Daggett and Yermo--real highlights. Enjoy Arizona.

what a splendid ending to the day. even the word Mojave is beautiful.
I hope Sinbad is behaving himself.
Too bad about the peanut butter; I've learned too to check the expiration date on jars/cans/everything. Just a suggestion - almond butter is a healthier choice.
I hope Sinbad is behaving himself. A few photos of the little guy now and then would be a true treat.
Stay safe and keep your eyes on the road. Take good care now you guys.

Wow, perhaps portends and very good trip to the south. Travel safe, and keep the photos coming!

A "reefer" truck at 5:30AM? Big 10-4 on that, buddy!
Guess it is never too early to catch a buzz...
