Barstow
Desert highway stop
Barstow is a city in the Mojave Desert of Southern California, situated where Interstate 15 and Interstate 40 meet.
It serves as a familiar waypoint for travelers between Los Angeles and Las Vegas: We stopped in Barstow for gas and lunch.
The name sometimes evokes desolate desert highway culture.
