One more day in Barstow then we head north. To commemorate this momentous event, we took a trip down to Main Street to visit a couple of thrift stores that exist side by side. The first one we visited had a bad odor about it, so we didn’t stay long. I didn’t take any photos, either.

The 2nd one was much better.

This store must have an enormous amount of $$ invested in display cabinets because they have a bunch of them.

This display perplexed Max and he didn’t know what to think of it. So, he sat there staring at the big doll for a little while, then growled at it. As we walked away, he looked over his left shoulder and gave it one last growl. He’s very opinionated.

On another note, here’s a photo of an oversize Marine Corp emblem that lives on this base. It’s very large, and shiny. It’s about 10′ tall.

To finish off the day, Diane took one last trip to the local Walmart Super Store for some crucial items. Max kept an eye out for her the entire time she was gone and went a little ballistic when she got back. He gets so excited that he runs back and forth between me and the door until I let him out. Then he runs to her and stays with her until she’s safely inside.

Now we rest to prepare for the arduous trip tomorrow to Tehachapi. I think it’s about 93 miles away. It’s a one stop trip, then on to NAS Lemoore for a couple of days.

See you later.
