ANOTHER rush -- packing stuff, left at 3pm. Picked up chicken sandwich at KFC, then delivered letter at USPS office, got gas, got on 210 fwy ~4pm. 2.5 hrs to Yucca Valley/CA, would get me just as sun sets (~6:20pm). LOTS of bottlenecks along 210 until San Bernardino, then fast to Hwy 62 to 29 Palms/Yucca Valley
Made left onto Hwy 247, took left (going west) at Skyline Ranch Rd. Ran into private-property gate..!! Backtracked, went north on Redding Dr. Stopped along a pullout (next to house). Unloaded stuff quickly, luckily found a nice scenic spot with Joshua Trees in foreground
Setup time-lapse cameras -- GX85 (50-140 zoom) & GH4 (12-32 zoom). Then, used Canon 5D2 + 80-200/2.8 zoom for pics: 80mm, 135mm, 200mm. Then, used another Canon 5D2 + 50mm/1.4 for select shots. Also, shot 3 frame panorama.
Quit shooting at ~8:30pm.
Found myself next to friend's house, then went back to Yucca Valley to Carl's Jr -- got 3-piece Chicken Tenders & charged up batteries. Also, quickly surfed Web to check FB "Comet Watch". They closed at 11pm, so drove to Starbucks & camped overnight. They openede early at 4:30 am. I slept until 7am, then went into to edit photos, do time-lapse. Uploaded to Web, finished at 1:30pm .. !!!

Now, off to Walmart to buy mattress, towel, pillow -- to take a much needed nap
Also, get some Ranch dressing at Aldi's (across street from Starbucks)
Then, off to search for a good site..
