Pioneer Town, California

I had to include this view from near Palm Springs, Ca. Pioneer Town was where many of the background scenes in westerns from the 1940's-1970's were filmed (I was told) Can't you just see High Chaparral or the Virginian or a Clint Eastwood movie in this view?
Part of the scenery was the odd looking Joshua Trees.

On the Road Again....

Amazing landscapes to two artists from the East! We are in Indio, CA but the 4 day cross country road trip has been an adventure! From closed Interstate 40 due to blizzards to the sunny warm landscapes of the moon!

We'll post a few more photos. Essentially we headed west from NC through TN, OK, TX, NM, AZ and into California!

We CANNOT imagine doing this by ox and cart! Wow what fortitude our ancestors had!

Incredible scenery as we journeyed through rain, fog, snow, sun and the continual winds.....

This photo is on Rt 62 in California. No more 4 lanes!
