flying to Mojave

I had a great chance to fly out to Mojave this weekend. The flight path took us from Orange County, right over downtown LA, then out into the desert area. After flying into Lancaster Airport for some breakfast, we took off again and headed towards Mojave Airport, which is a plane "graveyard" for unused or retired commercial planes. It was fun to see it from above, but I wished we were able to go for a wander around the area on foot. It was a very cool place though, and in the middle of nowhere. It was a great day for flying and while flying over Palmdale you could see all the way out to Catalina Island... I took some pics below...
