Crossing the Mojave

Yesterday we crossed California, heading east along I-40 from Barstow (a town that seems to lack charm totally and has the worst Walmart I have ever seen).  Much of the afternoon was spent crossing the desert, making for a long trip with little to look at.  We stopped for the night in Needles, along the Colorado River, very near the Arizona state line.  The KOA was all gravel, but had some landscaping that provided privacy, and I enjoyed their pool on the hot afternoon.  We had dinner with a couple from Quebec who had travelled down the US East Coast, then across the southwest, and are heading for the Pacific coast.  Sylvie insisted that she spoke little English, but we managed to have a good conversation anyway!
