We’re in California!<\/p>\n
Last night we over-nighted in Bakersfield, CA, at the Moose Lodge. Again, nice folks who were very welcoming. Unfortunately they didn’t have anything going on where we could get food, so we walked (too far) to a Taco Bell. We were back in our trailer for a quiet evening of TV and relaxing. Went to bed about 10:15.<\/p>\n
This morning, bright and early, (6:30) we were awake and soon packed and back on the road. We’re now about 100 miles south of Seaside, where my daughter lives. <\/p>\n
She’s a little panicky about our RV fitting in her driveway, but one way or the other, we’re here and we’ll just have to find a way. (All along she’s said there is room, but now that it’s for real, I think she’s concerned.)<\/p>\n
The temperature here is only about 60 and isn’t expected to get any warmer today. But at least, for right now, the sun is out.<\/p>\n
John’s impressed with the vineyards. Miles and miles of grapes growing is heaven to him.<\/p>\n
We’ve stuck closely to our schedule and we’re arriving about when we said we would. When we get to my daughter’s we’ll have driven over 2,900! <\/p>\n
My advice to anyone doing this is to get a GPS. I use Microsoft Streets and Trips with GPS and it has been a God-send. The setup I use requires a laptop, but it was something like $80, which sure has been worth it!<\/p>\n
I have a camera full of photos so I should download them and post a few. I’ll see if I can do it before we arrive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
