Day 12 – Indio Las Vegas
Actually thought I would be staying over in around Bagdad or Siberia today. There was even a Yurk for rent, but that was on the south side of Joshua Tree. That wouldn’t have helped me much further. Bagdad and Siberia actually are ghost-towns. I did not even notice I’d already driven through. So I decided…
