No, it's about two hours south of here. Isn't it beautiful? There is an "Antelope Valley California Poppy State Reserve" near Lancaster.

"This 1,745 acre State Reserve, nestled in the Antelope Buttes 15 miles west of Lancaster, California, is located on California's most consistent poppy-bearing land. Other wildflowers: owl's clover, lupine, goldfield, cream cups, and coreopsis, to name a few, share the desert grassland to produce a mosaic of color and fragrance each spring. As unpredictable as nature - the intensity and duration of the wildflower bloom varies yearly."

I would love to see the poppy fields in bloom someday...
