I visited the city of Mojave California earlier in the week. It is full of classic roadside dive motels and other scary places. In addition, for some reason, the city is full of desert rat homeless types. They are everywhere. I saw several homeless people camped in tents among some of the deserted buildings.
I shot this motel on the way out of town. I thought the place was closed, but an octogenarian maid was cleaning one of the rooms with a cart that looked to be 40 years old. I guess it is still open. I think I would rather sleep in my truck.
On another note: This is my 1000th post. This milestone snuck up on me. I can’t believe I’ve pressed the “blog this” button a thousand times.
