Yesterday we had (happily) an uneventful day of driving, It was longer that we like (335 miles) and 8 hours, but we made it. We stopped for lunch at a local diner in Boron, CA, home of the mine for Twenty Mule Team Borax. In fact the name of the road was Twenty Mule Team Road. What a friendly place maybe we can stop here on the way home.
The drive started out very foggy, and stayed that way until after Bakersfield. That made for some tense moments but it was early (7AM) so traffic was light.
After lunch I wanted to run the Pod Racer for a while so we went into the local museum and talked to the lady inside she has been in Boron since 1932 what a nice lady.
It would have been great to visit longer with her, I bet she has some stories to tell.
Driving through the San Gorgonio pass there were rows and rows of windmills almost like a cornfield.
Last night we went for a walk and dropped in on the Sat. night Chicken and Steak dinner not expecting to eat but they said they had an extra. So Gorgie ran back to our rig to get plates and silverware and a bottle of Sweet Valley wine. We shared with some folks and the wine was a hit. Dinner was OK too.
Right now we are off to breakfast (omeletes in a bag) I’ll let you Know.
More Later, Rich
