China Lake mostly intact,  the soldiers there and from Edwards greeted us as we drove up. About half of them are sick from radiation poisoning and they're kinda starved.

Kinda hard to believe they didn't see us a few weeks ago... but I'm not going to judge.

So we gave them directions, helped them get a few jeeps and trucks working by bringing parts in, and then went off on our way. They're headed north for medical treatment and to link up with the other forces.

Out in the Mojave again.

The desert is peaceful compared to everything else.
