you’ll never sink when you are with me
I went to the Salton Sea four years ago and just lately took another look at the photos I’d made on the trip.

Heat. And then some more heat. That was my main impression of Barstow. It was the kind of heat that dried everything out, that bleached the color until it wasn’t there.
But hey! At least people waiting for the bus got some good shade.
