Mohave National Preserve

Howdee all,

We traveled thru Mohave National Preserve on our way to Quartzite…we had intended to do a hike and drive in Death Valley that same day..but the weather turned cold and stormy..so we opted to drive to the Preserve in hopes of warm again.

We drove most of the day and arrived at the Kelso Depot Visitor Center shortly before sundown…

We pop in..and catch a video and get information on where to camp overnight.  We caught some nice light…

Which lit up the train and it looked like it was made of gold..

The train station looking east…

And north of the station…sunlit grasses

  and the sky starts to get some color…

  Depot and mountains lighting up…    As we drove to the campsite…

An amazing sunset…….

So…woulda shoulda coulda…

If i woulda listened to Jeff..I shoulda driven in the car with Andrew..then I coulda stopped off the road and taken some awesome shots of this amazing cloud formation and sunset.

  Jeff couldn't pull of the road in the Homey…no shoulder…

so blurred foregrounds…

So now we turn onto the road to the camping area..and Jeff was able to pull over for me to take some photos..

but…I shoulda walked forward more to avoid the telephone wires..

And well..what was bright pink..faded to pale pink..

still beautiful.. softer pink now…   We drive on to the campsite..

and the pink is gone..     And Ballie comes out of Homey to find some grass…

Ballie doesn't like the desert..

he is looking forward to some Green grass to chew…

That night, Jeff, Andrew and I pull up chairs and blankets and stare at the stars…

we saw a few shooters.

Another wonderful day in the Desert!
