Reagan Library : Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum - May 10, 2008
I left Indian Wells this morning and headed to Simi Valley.  Lots of traffic congestion and I took a wrong exit, winding up in an ugly area of LA.  But, I caught a glimpse of the Dodgers stadium while finding my way back.  The Reagan Library recently underwent a major expansion to make room for Air Force One.  Reagan was the most traveled president on this plane.  Interestingly, President Reagan was a drum major during high school.  After touring the museum, I drove to Bakersfield and overnighted there.

Sequoia and Kings Canyon NP : Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks - May 11, 2008
I had the absolute worst cup of Starbucks coffee this morning and headed to Sequoia National Park.  This drive takes you through major agricultural areas.  Olives, oranges, almonds, and pistachios.  En route, I stopped at a roadside strawberry stand for a pint of fresh berries.  I don't think the purveyor knew a word of English, but his berries were the best.  The main road connects Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.  Seeing both is a very full day.  I ran out of daylight at Kings Canyon and then drove to Yosemite Valley that night.  Long drive.

Joshua Tree NP : Joshua Tree National Park - May 9, 2008
I drove west from Indian Wells on I-10 to Route 62 towards 29 Palms.  Entered the park through the western entrance at Park Blvd.  The Joshua Trees actually only grow at the higher elevation, so as you drive towards the southern entrance (long drive), you lose elevation and reach a point where you no longer see Joshua Trees.
