Another Amazing Day in the Desert
Quartzsite fo Salome
Stephen woke up in the middle of the night with his neck all locked up and he was in alot of pain. I worked him and helped him with positioning and he was able to fall asleep. I eventually got back to sleep. We realized we are on Mountain Standard time so we had to move the clocks ahead an hour. We got up a little later and had coffee and packed up. We headed for McDonalds for breakfast. There were a couple of fellows outside the store who were drinking coffee and looking a bit hungry so we bought them some breakfast.

The larger dark green bushes are creosote bushes. Very interesting!
