I’m having fun with panoramas. The rest of Part 2 of the Anniversary Trip will continue in the next post. For now, you get two more panoramas from the final leg of our journey.

Solitary camping next to the Kern River was a little more our style than the Death Valley parking lot experience. It was getting on towards evening, and raining, so we almost settled for a depressing campsite on the really ugly Lake Isabella. But we moved on, and not 10 minutes later, found the Keyesville BLM Special Management Area with the Kern River flowing through and primitive camping allowed wherever your 4 wheel drive can take you.

Moments after pulling off the road, the clouds parted to let the sun through and we were treated to a beautiful rainbow. It was meant to be. We were home.
