R. MOON 1987 Journal 60 12 May Santa Cruz to the Granite Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. Bruce and I left Santa Cruz at 0900 PST and headed for the desert. Along the coast it was foggy but inland a few miles it became sunny and stayed that way (and hot too) until we reached Mojave. From there accross the desert it was dark and nearly 100% overcast. It rained on and off, with high winds, until we reached Barstow where it rained hard constantly. On Hwy 58 a few miles west of First st. There was a flash flood that washed out a segment of the road and flooded several areas. East of Barstow it stopped raining and we could see a few spots of blue sky between the clouds. We arrived at Dorner's at about 1830 PST. It was overcast and windy but no rain. It was warm too, but I didn't take the air temp. Now we're tired. Good night.
