Just one of the stores in Baker:
...I'm not sure what Alien Fresh is - but I'm sure it must be good...
Pulling out of Baker, the landscape changes again - as the road heads north towards Death Valley. It was cold, but clear, and I drove with the window open and the music on loud:
I love to drive - and today was one of the those crazy drive all day type of days - perfect:
And then - a few hours later - I was in Death Valley - which is an amazing place. I'd love to go back (on two wheels next time :-)
Just inside the park:
The Salt Lake in the bottom of Death Valley:
After a quick coffee at a small town, it was back on the road - LA was calling:
The roads are amazing here - smooth tarmac with long straight sections interspersed with interesting twisties - and incredible views...just really fun driving:
After a while the scenery changed again, and I was out of the park. And then it was the long drive back to LA. I stopped for lunch at a 50's style diner, and then hit the road, feeling totally bloated and cursing the American diet:
Pulling into LA:
What a trip...a real highlight...and all places I'd love to go back to...
