Barstow is the junction town where SR-58 ends: I-15 runs north to Las Vegas and south to Los Angeles, I-40 runs east to Needles and Arizona, and the rail yards sort freight for half the Southwest. Its weather is low Mojave Desert: hot summers, cold clear winters, and wind that arrives off the desert without warning in any season.
