-
- The trip started off with a sign.
-
- And then another sign that was the wrong color.
-
- From the toilet to your tap,
-
- the fields were wet when I shot the cow.
-
- Bonsai guy was there. I still think it’s a front.
-
- The area was improving.
-
- GAS WAR!!!
-
- Beautiful fields of green
-
- in the Tehachapis.
-
- Rauschenberg billboards, 20 miles to Mojave.
-
- The S.S. Minow with snow.
-
- Sidelifter.com
-
- and the good old Silver Dollar.
-
- The sunset outside of Barstow,
-
- and dancing patriotic tax service advertisements.
-
- Welcome to Mugwumps.
-
- Welcome to the desert.
-
- We’re on Route 66 now, East of Barstow.
-
- The sign says don’t steal.
-
- Retro railroads, all the red cars say Hyundai.
-
- One day this will be seen as historic,
-
- or maybe just buried by lava.
-
- Quite a display at Amboy,
-
- and then down through Cima in the Mojave Preserve,
-
- to see the moonrise at Nipton.
-
- It’s 22 miles to Searchlight, Nevada.
-
- To get gas and snacks and lose a few dollars.
-
- And then back to the wilds
-
- and open roads
-
- and into one of the most beautiful places I’ve been.
Wow, I can remember my name.
Nice “The End” here
Is that loosely translated as “Hi, my name is Tom and I like the last picture?”
Awesome set, and now that I know the story of your drive-by shooting technique I’m even more impressed. You should do a post on shooting while driving sometime (as long as your insurance agent doesn’t read your blog).
Yes, he’s almost killed me doing it too.
Oh, don’t exaggerate. I keep it safe and sane.
Into the desert I like it;)
