The sun works

The sun works.

It had been apparent for some while that things where not right when it came to our house batteries.
They where not keeping the charge and newer lasted long. We had to limit our use of electricity and it was giving me some problems working.

Salvation mountain

Salvation mountain.

I am not a firm believer in god or any thing simmilar. I am probably a non beliver. Still you cant but wonder if there is some thing out there. I had been heading for Slab city, knowing that salvation mountain was there in the vicinity. The weather had changed from this morning when I left sunny Joshua Tree national park and was now cloudy and overcast. It had been a mellow ride and I had driven around to the near by towns trying to find some Internet connection. (little did I know then that the best one was in Niland it self) When I finally found the road to Slab city, which by the way is in the middle of Niland, i soon saw the the mountain in the distance. I was thinking of driving past it, find me a spot to stay and come back the morning after. But as so often when you get the feeling you should not, I decided to stop there and then. It was strange. As soon as I stoped. The curtains in the sky started sliding to the side and before I knew there was this beautiful blue sky in the bakckground. The sun coming from a low angel as it was in the afternoon, shun a nice light on the mountain. With out hesitation I grabbed my camera and started snapping away.

Madly cursing mechanic

The madly cursing Mechanic

It was obvious from the moment I saw the mechanic that would work on Benzi, that he would solve the problem.
In the morning I had walked in to the garage and asked about when and if they could fix my problem that day. This guy was then working on an other truck and was probably the filthiest of all the workers in there. This did put my confidence in him.
