Description
Nov. 27 - 1933.
On a long stretch of desert
road there were thousands of
Yucca, or Spanish Bayonet
shrubs. In fact we saw
them growing for five or six
of the ten days, enroute to
California. This scene was
in New Mexico - just over
the west side of the "Continental
Divide.
The photographer almost
missed the big Yucca, in
trying to leave out a nearby
telephone.
When snapping this the
Pennsylvania car we had
passed twice passed us the
second time. It was bound
for Redlands.
