A Quickie Post Before Boarding The Train

We’ll be leaving for the train shortly so this has to be quick. We had a fine trip from Phoenix. It’s only about six hours to Los Angeles from there. The scenery is not breathtaking by any means because it’s mostly desert but you have time to really observe what IS out there (tongue in cheek). For example, just east of Quartzite, Az is a road called Sore Finger Road. Yep, Sore Finger Road. Makes you wonder who’s finger it was and why it was sore, doesn’t it? And where it might lead.

Then right around Palm Springs there are fields and fields of wind farms. Hundreds of wind turbines generating energy. I really do think they’re pretty. They rotate slowly, almost lazily. Rhythmic. Reminds me of dancers with their arms stretched wide. A silent ballet.

Then you travel through towns like 29 Palms and Thousand Palms. Wonder how they got their names. I’ll have to check that out.

Well, time to go – I probably won’t be able to post anything until we reach Seattle. But here’s a website that I stumbled upon that looks yummy! Check it out. http://www.extremechocolate.com/
