Hoping to write about our adventures coming to Mojave, but this had to be posted during our lunch. We just spent 2 hours in the grocery store purchasing 23 days of food for the next few hundred miles because there is nowhere to resupply. We checked out and received a few questions and stares since we bought over 100 of both snickers bars, power bars, and granola bars. The receipt was over 6 feet long. Once the groceries were purchased Kristi acted as my spotter as I pushed the cart out into the middle of a 4 lane highway and proceeded to push it up the turn lane for a quarter of a mile as 18 wheelers raced by on either side. Once safely in our hotel parking lot it was maneuvered to our hotel room with no questions from the management. Now all we have to do is break it into 3 shipments and soak our feet in ice water while we eat the sampler platter of mac n cheese, hot wings, tamales,
and bag o' salad for lunch. L-i-v-i-n the dream in Mojave.

  1. Drew, we thought blisters, sweltering deserts,
    poisonous plants,
    drinking brown water,
    possibly losing toes, rattlesnakes, bears,
    more rattlers and
    drinking out of horse
    troughs was
    pretty disturbing;
    BUT NOW, y'all are playing
    in traffic & watching
    18 wheelers dodge you!
    What a joy for your
    parental units
    to hear all of the above
    while sitting 2000 miles
    away. (This does make
    one entertain the idea
    that y'all really may
    be certifiable!) LY

  2. I love this comment. It has been confirmed. We are certifiable. Here's one more reason: we are going back into the desert today.
