Its about darned time! I thought this forum had bloody died. Here it is, prime herping time & no photos or reports? What was up with that!
Nice trip & brings back a lot of my memories of southwest California (the good ones, for a change!)when I was a kid. Desert Glossy snake was my first snake. First lizard I caught in Barstow was a a Collared Lizard, followed by a juvenile Desert Iguana. So many memories...
Thanks for the report!

Sincerely,
Matthew
