Day 55, Saturday, March 18, Calico Ghost Town RV Park,
Barstow, California
Jim has been doing all the driving. That makes both of us feel safer, I think,
and he does drive faster than I do! We
got to the RV Park and got settled, then went back down to Home Depot so Jim
could make more repair purchases. There
are lots of wildflowers around this park, and I took a walk up the wash to get
pictures of the Mohave Desert bloom.
This has been a wet year for the west coast, which is good for
everybody!

In the morning before we left I walked up to the Ghost Town
to get postcards for the kids. I have
sent bunches of postcards to all 8 grandchildren on this trip, trying to make
sure that the postcards for each house were unique. I brought the postcard stamps from home, but
sometimes it has been a challenge to find a place to mail them!
