Shady Lane

On from Victorville, we enjoyed a stay in Barstow.  This desert town is a railroad and Interstate hub and enjoys the economic benefits of both.  One of my favorite things about this stay is the RV Park-Shady Lane with its three brothers who carry on what their parents started in the desert here.  We enjoy their company and the bit of oasis they have created with the park.

It is here that I witnessed the tiniest hummingbirds I have ever seen.  At first I thought they were moths until I paid attention to their attraction to flowers at the park’s entrance.  We were out for a walk right after dinner as the sun began setting and enjoyed watching them hustle for their last minute chance at nectar.  The owner’s have an office with a totem pole in front that may date from the inception of the park.  I love it and the visits with the owner we have experienced there.

Unfortunately, we may not see them again as the park is on the verge of selling and then they will hit the road in an RV like us.  Well, you never know, maybe we will pass each other on the road one day.  One can make wishes that come true you know… 

This Teddy Bear on wheels enjoyed the park too!
