The weekend after I arrived at my brothers in Rosamond, CA, we decided to get Dan’s RV ready for a trip, not only to exercise the rig, but to see some interesting things up north of Rosamond. His (Class C) RV has been sitting for a few months so we had to stock up on foods, supplies, LP fuel, and check all the regular stuff. After that was all done we headed on up the road.
Painted rocks outside of Bishop, California.
Dan lets me drive.
The desert is interesting in this area and some of the hills we top allow a clear view of huge desert valleys. Often with development, small or large communities, but just as often, nothing as far as the eye can see. There was one valley where they’d been mining borax for many decades and one area where they were mining salt.
Ancient cinder cone.
It’s much easier to see geological highlights in the desert, compared to treed areas of the mountains. Maybe not as large or spectacular but interesting.
Mostly empty valley.
We purposely left Rosamond late in the day because we weren’t in any hurry and the trip to Bishop and The Highlands RV Park was only a couple hours. The park is comfortable and we enjoyed the evening making our own dinner (need the practice), checking the internet and watching TV. Even watched a SciFi movie.
