Well, we had to cut the trip short by two days, due to a large weather event moving into the area. Other than that, it was a very good trip. Put 715 miles on the odometer in four days.
Pictured: a Globe, Cloverleaf, 3 straight-sided steel soda cans, old oil can, and the jar on the far left I found in the desert. Not worth a penny I'm sure, but I thought it was cool, so I kept it. (pretty much anything that I deem to be "cool", I keep.) Total spent on everything: $17
I have no idea what the jar on the left is all about. If anyone has an idea, clue me in! Maybe it's an old salsa jar? It just seems too big to be that though.
Globe closeup:
Cloverleaf. I really like the color of this bottle:
Bottom of the jar:
Alright, and here are some more pictures of the trip. I took 547 pictures in under 4 days. I'm sorry that I do not have to time to share more of them. (It is very time consuming to resize, upload, and cut-and-paste them here, etc.)
*** PLEASE NOTE: Aside from cropping and/or resizing, my pictures are NEVER manipulated in any way, shape, or from. What you see is how the camera lens captured the image. I don't believe in "touching up" an image to try to make it more impressive.***
Ah yes, the good olde days......when everything was a lot better, right? Taken inside the small museum in Randsburg, Calif.
House in Randsburg:
Me with Charlie in front of his store. He is a great guy. I've bought a few bottles from him before:
Some of the locals in Johannesburg, Calif. There were bottles in all of the windows, but the place was closed.
If you find water in the desert....
A pure stand of Jeffrey Pine, with a Manzanita carpeting:
^ The Jeffrey Pine is my favorite conifer. I am very guilty of continually sticking my nose in the cracks of the bark to bask in the wafting aroma of pineapple-vanilla. One of best smells in the whole universe I swear.

Sierra beauty @ 10,000 feet:
White, blue, green, yellows, browns, and grays. Just a few of my favorite things:
Nice house, I'll take it:
