Trona Pinnacles
Trona, California

Stayed overnight at the Bakersfield River Run RV Park. Spent the morning at a Ford dealership getting the oil changed and answering a million questions about
the EarthRoamer. We always attract attention wherever we go!!! Comment by one Ford salesman, "If this were mine, my house would be on the market and I'd
be out of here this afternoon!" Another employee said, "I used to have just one hero...now I have 2!" Love it!!!

First stop after leaving Bakersfield--Red Rock Canyon State Park. Outrageous land forms!!!

Next stop--Trona Pinnacles in Trona, California.
The unique tufa spires make it look like another planet. First time off-road...had to go into 4-wheel drive to get out of soft sand.

 Sunset at Trona Pinnacles. It really was that color!!!

Decided to spend the night here so that we can shoot at dawn. We're the only ones here............I think.

Tomorrow we stop in Las Vegas to pick up a few things at Whole Foods and then on to Valley of Fire.
