Headed for - well, NORTH - I guess. Reluctantly. With long pants on and a coat. Shit! We both hate it. Tony drove both the AM shift, and the PM shift. It was so BEAUTIFUL driving up a pass, through the golden hills; snow sprinkled artistically throughout. Down the other side we passed through many more orchards of oranges, nut trees and fallow fields. Many of these fields had yellow signs that read: “Congress Created Dust Bowl.” We think that’s in response to water not being distributed to save a fish - Fox reported on it. I’ll look it up tonight.


I utilized our time on the netbook while driving the straight, straight I-5, looking ahead for RV parks further north. We’re now parked off the highway at the Santi Netta RV Park. I thought the name was cute, but the park isn’t. Well, it’s neat, but too much cement for us. Just another stopover.

We headed to the Starby’s across the street, read the local newspaper, then went to the Village Market “Liquor Groceries Bait Line”. I had a good feeling about it, and it was a delightful place! Big and roomy with all sorts of shit you just have to have. I picked up some cool stuff and we had a nice talk with the owner. Just packed with crap. The porn mags had cardboard across the nasty bits, and it said “Magazines are for buying, not for BROWSING!” Ha ha.



Now we’re back to the rig, cleaning up a bit, checking my mail, making dinner. Hopefully tomorrow, we’ll be close to the Cali border. Bern texted no snow in the passes, but we’ll see. It is COLD here!
