Day 15 - Needles to San Bernadino

The guide books make it sound as though you are attempting to cross the Sahara. In reality the drive across the Mojave desert was no more trying than any other drive on the route. Yes, it is hot, but the road is quite good, well signposted and follows the railway line rather than the interstate. Long straight stretches of road but more to see than I expected, frequent huge freight trains, ghost towns and even a couple of extinct volcanoes.

 

Passed the film location of the 1980's movie 'Bagdad Cafe' as well as the famous Bottle Ranch

Last day on the road tomorrow and I suspect following Route 66 through downtown Los Angeles is going to be a lot more difficult than today was.
