On the way from Ubehebe Crater to The Racetrack is a particularly colourful area

Blooms of desert mallow, desert paintbrush and cactus decorate the rocky Joshua-tree-studded landscape.

The road to The Racetrack is notorious for its heavy washboard texture. Phil experiments with speed because driving faster sometimes allows the vehicle to plane across the little ridges in the road surface, which produces a slightly smoother ride.
