Was this a mirage? No. It's the London Bridge which was purchased by Robert McCulloch, the chairman of the McCulloch Oil Corporation, and reassembled brick by brick in Lake Havasu City, AZ (aka the middle of nowhere). We enjoyed this desert oasis after camping.
By now, seasoned adventurers, we ignored the Garmin and set out across the Mojave Desert. It was impossible to lose our way as there was only one, long road across a very hot, but beautiful desert. We saw everything from tumbleweeds to an intense rainstorm which left the air smelling like toasted marshmallows.
But in case we did lose our way, there was one big sign to everywhere.
Here is the famed Joshua tree. Legend has it that the Mormons saw this yucca plant as they crossed the desert, and believed it looked like the prophet Joshua, raising his arms waving them on to the promised land. Could this be the Lauren tree waving us on to LA?
As we left the desert, we traded our two lane highway for the twelve lane freeway and the desert fog for the city smog.

It seems like you should be in CA by now. I can't believe how many interesting places there are to see. It's 12:39 in the morning and I can't sleep so I am checking out your blog. I'm jealous it looks like your having a great time. I especially like the picture of the squirrel on the edge of the canyon. I'm sure he would have loved to accompany you on your jaunt. How is it possible that this is only the half way point? Well keep on blogging so I have something to read when I can't sleep and I'm up in the middle of the night.
