Nothing to tell today. Left the hostel and stopped off at the wonderful Schatt’s bakery for coffee and a little breakfast. Then on to the bus stop for the Kern Valley service to Mojave.

The bus was a little late so I missed the Amtrak bus but there was a different one an hour later so I grabbed that.

Bakersfield was unremarkable but it was witheringly hot, 43° at peak. Luckily the Vagabond Inn had good Aircon, and was in fact excellent all round for the very cheap price.
