It's Tuesday- we must be in California

Well, here we are on the west coast again. We loaded yogurt on Friday night and we are in Barstow CA on Tuesday night. We had a pretty uneventful trip across- except for Sunday afternoon in Oklahoma where we encountered several bands of storm clouds that were potentially tornado-spawning. Here are two examples

Later we parked in E. Tulsa for the night and tuned into the local TV channel. Every commercial break was interrupted by thunderstorm and tornado warnings. Communities just to the west of Tulsa were warned to head to tornado shelters. Soon after, our location was hit by a very fierce T-storm with stunning lightning and torrential rains. We were fine in the truck.

These next pictures fall under the catagory of 'things you don't see every day'

Today we stopped at a rest area in the Arizona desert. It looks like your average rest area with restrooms and shaded picnic tables. But we loved the signs they had posted all around the edge of the pavement.

Here is a distant shot of Kurt standing by the sign

And here is a close up of the sign

It says "Poisonous snakes and insects inhabit the area"
