We were still up very high (6,000 ft) and drove past lots of stripey mountains.
And then drove down into a big flat area called a basin. Lots of rivers here do not go to the sea, but just flow into a basin like this one and just dry out in the desert heat.
There were a lot of Joshua trees here. The Mormans who first arrived here called theses yucca palms Joshua trees because they have arms that look like they are pointing; they thought they pointed towards the promised land.
Do you think Daddy is pointing the right way?
Papa liked taking photos of the Joshua Trees. Can you spot the big yellow bus taking children home after their day at school?
Spot our little red car...
"Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear." Really?
Location:High desert in Nevada
We spotted the bus and the car!
