Friday October 22nd (Mojave Desert)



Kingsburg to Barstow Calico K.O.A.
220 Miles
Another days driving along straight roads, we drive thru Bakersfield. We then up into the Mojava Desert, climbing to an elevation of nearly 5000ft. The farms we saw in the Mojave Desert were windmill farms, miles and miles of windmills along some of higher elevated mountain ridges, all spinning up electricity. The campground we stopped at is very nice and clean, and they do have a swimming pool which is open, so this afternoon we both went for a swim. A lot of people were arriving at this campground today with their dune buggies and most popular buggy seem to be old much modified VW Beatle

  1. Haven't checked your blog for awhile but it sure sounds like you are having fun. The redwood trees are truly magnificent.

    We had about 1 1/2 inches of snow last night so it looks like winter today. Have fun. Rose
