Stumbling Toward the California Coast
As we stumble across desert peaks and valleys toward the California coast, the landscape stretches beneath us and joins in a harmonious flow toward the sea…Looking to our right, Apple Valley and its airport rest unassumingly on the desert floor…Looking ahead, Lucerne Valley occupies the end of the ridge line and marks the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains. High above the valley, a shroud of mist covers Bear Mountain Lake and marks the transition from desert on the western face of the mountains to the coastal plain on the eastern face.
