We left Laughlin, NV and motored on to Barstow, California. We drove most of the day through the huge Mohave Desert which is a very impressive sight. This area was much bigger than I had expected and is measured in the many miles.
I was amazed at the mountains which had no vegetation on them at all. A very desolate, but enchanting area and a beautiful one.
Upon arrival at Barstow, we went to the Fred Harvey House which was built in 1911 as a rail hotel and inn. Unfortunatley, the house was closed (it is open on the weekend), but it was a beautiful building that now houses two museums.
While the museum was closed, there were several great rail displays outside, so all was not lost!
I always love to get up close to engines and equipment, so this was great.
