Mohave Preserve March 25 2011

 

We visited the Mohave Preserve and hiked on the sand dunes. We were bummed that the caverns were closed, guess they are renovating the stairs and lights and stuff. Then we headed up toward Shoshone CA to visit my sister and go on the annual Death Valley trip.  We stopped in Tecopa on the way , camped in the resort RV park. We soaked and I got a fabulous massage at Delights from Andrew. I don’t have good internet connection, so I will have to actually post this later.

Mohave fringed lizard, it has feet like snowshoes to make it easier to walk on the sand, the dunes, John running down the front of the high dune, making the sand sing. curly grass.

the Kelso Depot, it was the old train depot, it is now the visitors center. John in the old Kelso  jail. John at the diner in the depot.

Many of the fields were yellow, on closer examination it was these little tiny flowers an inch or two high. Scorpion weed, and the volcano calderas, and ME DRIVING! 5 mph on a straight dirt road.
