With an end of game full moon silhouetting Death Valley and it's Super Bloom, it's time for me to get along Little Barley.
I spent my time in this vast park hiking to places where a twisted knee would allow me to get to. http://jeffsambur.blogspot.com/2016/02/as-i-was-falling-over-backwards.html
There's just a few real trails, so I was pretty limited. Fortunately, flowers don't mind being neighbors with paved or dirt roads. I scored many oh-ah moments just the same. I just wish I could have seen and done more.
I'll make up for this the next time I venture this way. There will definitely be a next time.
Today, I'll be heading to Nipton, California. A place famous for not much. The town (if you can call a hotel, general store and campground a zip code) prides itself as a place of sloth. I plan on icing my knee, resting it and looking out into the Mojave Desert void.
I read about Nipton in the now defunct National Geographic Adventure magazine. Maybe that's why the monthly tabloid died a sudden death. They gave too many Nipton-like recommendations.
There will be a full report with photos ASAP.
Wish me luck on the knee. I won't be doing much wandering or wondering if I need a surgery.
Cheers,
Jeff
