I didn't think anything could be worse than our travel day yesterday. But today came close to beating it. Here is how our day went:
We left the Walmart in Anderson, California this morning around 8:30am. The day started out really good. It was windy but not to bad, although as we entered a construction zone, the wind caught one of the signs on the side of the road and sent it our way. Thankfully, we manage to dodge it.
We arrived in Fresno and pulled into the Walmart. We went into the store and asked permission, received it and went back to the motorhome. However, we didn't have a good feeling about the surroundings. There was a motorhome there that looked like it had been there awhile (a blue tarp over the top and stuff stored under it gave us some clue) and some people hanging around that didn't look right. So we left and started south again on RT 99. A little down the road a pickup with a ladder went by, the ladder flew off and again we had to serve to miss that.
Then, the coffee carafe went flying and broke to pieces. (We ride down the road with the carafe in the sink, but when we stopped in Fresno, I put it back)
We are now at a Walmart in Selma, California and this is a good one so we are settling in for the night. (With another new coffee pot on the counter until I can find a replacement carafe).
Tomorrow we are heading through Tehachapi, into Mojave and on to Barstow. This area, along route 58 can be a real bad area for wind. Lets hope tomorrow the winds will be calm.
Terry said to tell you that you should have stayed a few more days. Weather is now gorgeous. I think you took a version of the bad weather with you. BE CAREFUL!!
