My first trip to the local desert this season was yesterday (Sunday).. We only drove through ABSP.
We got to Plaster Blaster near Plaster City just in time to see the last few larger rockets launch. It was our first time to Plaster Blaster. We all agred that we would have liked to have seen more lauches but we should have got out of the house before 9AM (going Sat was not a possibility due to our schedule).
On the way out there we saw the wind farm. There are quite a few and they are building more of them.
After Blaster Plaster we went to Salvation Mtn. It was our first time and has beeen on my desert to do list for quite a few years (maybe a decade). Just by good fortune it happened to be Leonard's birthday (the person who created Salvation Mtn) so he was there. He is confined to a wheelchair but looked to be enjoyinv himself even though he left a little early. The mountain was what I expected. The water towers were bonus.
We spent a small amount of time looking for the hot spring. We found what I will call the shower well but did not find the hot spring. We may have been looking in the wrong area and we did not look for long.
We drove through ABSP on the way home (Scissors Crossing). We stopped at Moms pie in Wynola area and got home shortly before dark.
