And splashdown. A little early for wildflowers up here, but lots of snow for Rory to play in.

There were several different types of yellow flowers along the road between Mojave and Lone Pine, but we require refueling so we’ve put the science mission on hold.

Next stop: Coppertop Barbecue in Big Pine.

Imaging test of a roadside stand of black mustard.

@anonsally – our plan is to stay until Friday, because I have a docent tour at the marsh on Saturday.

Quick programming note: I’m departing from my home base for a week in the mountains today. The downside is this that will involve burning profligate amounts of fossil fuels, contributing to the impoverishment of future generations. The upside is that the recent rains after a long drought have caused a spectacular wildflower bloom in the Antelope Valley, Mojave Desert, and Owens Valley areas through which I will be traveling.

Entering robotic probe mode. I shall endeavor to gather imagery and return it to my home planet via remote network protocols.
