The Journey Begins


We got up at 6:00 am to finish packing and rigging the carbus, car, and bikes for travel. At 7:45 a final look around and we closed and locked the front door and began our adventure. Traffic through Sacramento was quite good - 55 or better all the way. I chose to go down 99 instead of I5. More direct and more to see along the way. Rain to Sacramento then mixed clouds and sun the rest of the day. Stopped at a rest stop for lunch and then to Costco in south Bakersfield for gas. Then headed east up the Tehachapis. Passed through a HUGE wind mill farm (picture is only a very small part there are windmills on top of what looks like several miles of ridge top)

and shortly after stopped for the day just north of Mojave. About 8 hours of driving - much more than enough but will make tomorrow easier. The word for this place is WIND - lots of it. RV park has lots of trees which help but will be glad to be gone from here.
