The drive to California





Ok. Crazy ass driving. The Matt and The Claire left Arkansas leisurely at 4pm. Made it all the way to my Uncle's house in Albuquerque New Mexico at 3am. Never stopped in Texas. =)
The next day had a tasty breakfast and zoomed onward. Made it to Barstow. We stopped in Needles California, and bought some honey from this crazy road-side self serve place. Tasty stuff. We marked our hometown on their map, we were their first Nebraskans. Woot woot I suppose. Or perhaps "represent"?
Barstow had none of the camping we required, (other Californians refer to Barstow as "the armpit of California." It was rather sweaty looking. We sped onward toward Red Rocks, a park where we camped. Very pretty desert area, lots of stars. Good views the next morning.
That next day we went into Bakersfield, picked up breakfast, supplies, and an oil change. Good ole' Honda is trucking along nicely.
Got some bear advice from a nice fella at the sports store.
Left for Sequoia.
