DAY 44

Wofford Heights to Ridgecrest
First of all we ate a huge pack of cereal for breakfast.

Second, after skirting Lake Isabella for a little bit, we reached a town by the same name and had a funny conversation with two blokes in a pickup truck. "Where you guys riding?" "Ridgecrest" "Thats a lotta luggage you got there for Ridgecrest. Hang on, Why the hek are you goin to Ridgecrest?" "Oh we're on our way to Death Valley" "Why the hek are you goin to Death Valley!?" Both men making their I've never seen anything like this before what the hek faces. Back on the road we had our first decent meal in a long time at a cute old store in Onyx, before climbing a very manageable pass, into which we had one of the most enjoyable stretches of road we've experienced: Long, flowing descent past a forest of Joshua Trees, a bizarre cactus found only in this part of the world. Ridgecrest was a pretty shitty town.  No offense...
