Quartzsite, Arizona

 RV Rally of 150,000, made of small groups known as the "Tribe".

Desert Camping on Bureau of Land management land. Temperatures were down in the 30's at night. Most people came to the desert expecting warmer temperatures.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Time to recover some of my losses. Maybe not. It is not only cold outside but cards were cold inside.
Better luck next time.

Mohave Desert,  Tehachapi, California
The highway between Las Vegas and Tehachapi, California looks all the same, five hours of sand and very little else.

Tehachapi, the land of the Wind Mill farms. Thousands of wind mills as far as the eye could see. Watts Up with that?

Many of the homes on top of the mountain are off the grid so private solar and wind mills used.
Visiting my brother and his wife in Bear Valley Springs, California on top of a mountain for a week. There were snow banks outside my door of the camper. The humidity was 5% or less everyday.

Time to go home to coastal Carolina. It is a long way home, 2,785 miles.
