Arizona to California - and very close to my birthplace

Ontario, California (near Rancho Cucamonga) is about 5 hours drive from Kingman, Arizona.  We arrived in late afternoon and are snuggled up in a mid-level motel for the night.

We streaked through from Kingman into California, stocked up on gas and beverages just southeast of the Mojave Desert (yes, I have an unreasonable fear of being stranded in the Mojave.  A story for another time), and kept driving until we arrived here.  I'm sorry, though.  There are no pictures because the landscape was so very uninspiring.

However, tomorrow, we will drive straight through greater Los Angeles to find those wonderful Southern California beaches (possibly after taking a photograph of the hospital in Huntington Park where I was born).  Photos of sandy Pacific beaches are forthcoming, along with even more interesting stuff.

But, here's something in recognition of the coming solar eclipse that we saw at Denny's before we left Kingman this morning.
