Essex, CA

I am a huge fan of the desert and its weather and environs, and find it to be absolutely beautiful. I took this shot in 2001 during the Harley Owners Group tour of Route 66. I had been following their tour since Chicago and was supposed to meet one of the owners near here to hitch a ride through a portion of the desert with video camera to my eye. It was a great ride, I might add, through a beautiful stretch of desert and on up to Cadiz Summit from this spot at Essex.
