For Christmas this year, we took a short loop tour through southern California, beginning and ending in San Diego.  Our loop took us east across the coast range to the Salton Sea, so we rode through a mix of climates – desert, mountains, the coast.  In  the middle of the tour we rented a car … Continue reading "Christmas in Joshua Tree"
