"Sleep is for the weak." - Lindsey, Jeff, and I at 6:30am.
Colin's turtle, Dirk Diggler, eating kale. He ate the whole thing!
I tried taking pictures at Lake Las Vegas but it was too dark!
Driving through the Mojave desert. Yikes.
After a long trip back caused by the same elements as Friday, we grabbed some dinner and headed northeast about an hour to Lake Isabella. Sunday night was the annual Perseid meteor shower. I had never heard about this (or maybe it never stuck in my mind) but Jeff, who is from CO, said he and his mother used to check it out every year. We drove to the lake because there is too much light pollution in Bakersfield. We never did find the lake, but we drove up a long, winding road on a mountainside until we reached the top. There, we stepped out and leaned against the truck for a good hour. I have never seen a sky so filled with stars and to be perfectly honest, I would've been fine just looking at that for an hour! We were able to see quite a few shooting stars and it was just breathtaking. I wish I could have captured what we saw on camera, but I don't have the appropriate equipment. We decided to head back down when Lindsey and I heard something take a step close to us in the darkness. Jeff laughed at us, but hey, I am not messing with a coyote!!"Sleep is for the weak." - Lindsey, Jeff, and I at 6:30am.

Perseid meteor shower once a year Craol, I remember when you used to read the news paper. That is a major problem with internet news, you read what you want (no diversity). Dad
I love how even the Golden Arches have neon lights!
I'm sure the meteor shower was awesome. I guess you are starting to see why I have been trying to get you to go out west!
