The Mojave Desert. Beautiful. Desolate.













Desert nature














Joshua Tree














The only trees we saw all day.














The landscape had no vegetation. No wildlife to be seen.










Windmills are a main energy source for the state of California. They are found up and down the valleys as you pass through the desert.

  4. It looks like my wish for happy trails has come true, buckaroos. Try to imagine a bunch of cowpokes making a living running cattle out there. Maybe that landscape was the setting for the song "Ghost Riders onthe Sky".
