Our plans have changed. After spending last night in Reno we decided to head straight to Anza-Borrego, and then begin working our way North.
Today we headed down US 395 following the east side of the Sierra-Nevada Mountains. Unfortunately for California this winter has again been mostly dry and warm. This road would normally have a lot of snow along it and today it was completely dry and the temperatures were in the high 50’s all of the way.
Since we covered al lot of this area in our October trip we only made one stop to take pictures. Tomorrow we should arrive at the southern end of the trip and begin the real exploring, after watching the NFL championship games.
Tonight we are staying at China Lake Naval Weapons Station. I was surprised that they had a campground since this place is the Navy’s equivalent of Area 51. They had a weapons museum that included a bunch of aircraft that were in service when I first went into the Marines. As Ton likes to point out when I am surprised by these things, I am getting old.
