Mile 7137 – Barstow, California<\/strong>, jumping off point towards Arizona tomorrow.\u00a0 We’re in the desert.\u00a0 When P.J. got out of our air conditioned car today, she\u00a0said it felt\u00a0like getting into<\/em> <\/strong>a car that’s been sitting in the sun in the summer.\u00a0 The reverse of what you expect.<\/p>\n

We had a nice breakfast with Wayne Jackson and his family, then went to Mira Loma to spend the afternoon with Fay Champion.\u00a0 The common thread here\u00a0is Ruth Jackson, my friend from Cambridge, Mass, who later moved to California and married Wayne and befriended Fay, and who\u00a0died four years ago this month.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed taking the time today to visit old friends before we got back in the car to continue our trip. The landscapes and cloudscapes continued to unfold throughout the afternoon as we turned north and then east. I am looking forward to new territory (for me) over the next couple of days as we drive through the desert.<\/p>\n

The temperature hit 104 degrees today. In Alpine, California, where we had breakfast, it was not only hot, but also humid. The skies were a little threatening all day, and it even rained a little. Because of the weather, I had to give up on the idea of taking more vintage postcard pictures around San Diego (I only got one). I hope I can take the rest when we return to California in October. I took all my photographs today out of the car window at 70+ miles an hour. <\/p>\n
