(I know I find them distubring!!!)
---- DID I REALLY DO THIS???-------
Ok, this was a long-ish kind'a day (~350 miles) and I wrote this when I was pretty darn BEAT! I covered some really EMPTY and FORIEGN territory today and parts of it were WAY too hot!!
I left Grand Can and headed towards Rt 66 (in Stegmen, CA) and the plan was then to stop at Needles, CA. (at a KOA and do some camping - for real!). However, with a speed limit of ~75 mph (I has thought it was ging to be ~65 mph) and the COMPLETE absence of other cars and particularly cars with LIGHTS on the top of them, I made REALLY GOOD TIME! (cough, cough, turn head to the side and look up). By the time i got to Needles, it was still early enough in the day to decide to PUSH ON (but the prob was that the next leg was through the desert (just below death valley - along old rt 66 - through Amboy CA) towards 29 Palms, CA (near Joshua Tree State Park).

It was a tough call as it was HOT and was ~3pm (hottest part of the day). But I had my cooling vest and camel back, so, I loaded up with liquids (gas, water, gator aid) and made a run for it!
(in the end it turned out ok, but I'm still not certain it was a WISE decision).

Roadkill Cafe (in Stegmen, CA) - my family and I stopped there a few years back (had to get the kids some shirts this time!)
the moment of trurth (deciding to push on through to 29 Plams over a Sonic's lunch):
nice shot of rt 66 above my windscreem (this is heading down towards Amboy CA):
What the HECK have I gotten myself into? NOTHING BUT DESERT IN ALL DIRECTIONS!
Is there any water (or GAS!!!) along this road? NOT!!!
Does this one look familar to anyone? Only the MOST "faithful" of fans will know:
Mean while, back on MARS, sand dunes are forming:
What the HECK is the lake of funny blue water?
Ah oh... have to clean my windsheild, appears that there is a MOUNTAIN ON IT!
