Welcome to Nevada...the strangest place...

Nevada was a long drive on very straight roads with very little as far as scenery! Once we got onto the Extraterrestrial Highway we saw a few odd things, but mostly I read a book to Gary as he drove.

Joshua Tree

King of the Road!

There were some very aggressive biting flies, though I don't know how they survived in that heat.

Finally made it into California

We found a flat spot by a lake, set up our tent and played in the dirt.

Such a lovely place to wake up!

I think I've figure out that he's a Yellow Headed Blackbird. Gary worked very hard to get a good picture of him! He and his buddies chatted very loudly!

There was a very scenic overlook just outside of Yosemite

A Snowman in June!

Entering Yosemite, where we ended up buying a year pass that would get us into all federal parks. By the end of the trip we had already made some of our money back!
