Jeff and I visited Trona about 20 years ago, traveling down 395 from Truckee for about a week. That highway is a great corridor for learning about geology of every kind, even volcanoes. Lucky they are asleep right now. Last Sunday drive we took ... last week I think ... we discussed taking the granss on a geology field trip vacation when they're in grade school. So many wonderful examples of mountain and desert formations. And Trona was so serene and silent until one more car ambled toward us. I was deeply resentful of being invaded. sigh
Meanwhile, I've seen on FB the Anza Borrego is in full bloom. Will you be going to see it?
Thanks - very nice work (& cool ride)! Have been curious since learning about them many moons ago. I taught jr hi English and the departmental potboiler of choice was “Deathwatch”(? - it’s been 30+years), and the Pinnacles were the setting. Anxious to camp there, just need a beaten-up vehicle with a little extra clearance.
Thank you for this treat. To do list updated!

Looks like a great spot! I've spent time in that region but haven't been there yet.
