On the outskirts of Barstow, the road dead-ends at a Marine Corps base, so I turn back and get on the freeway for a few miles
A friendly guy at the entrance to the Marine Corps base gives me directions, reassuring me that I only have a few freeway miles to ride. He probably gets several people every day who are lost when their road unexpectedly ends up at the base entrance.
