Running Ahead of the Storm

Posted from Sommerville Almond Tree RV Park, Coalinga, CA.

Yesterday we drove 350 miles in seven hours through some fog that was pretty heavy at times. That is way more than we like to travel in any one day.  The reason is an approaching windstorm, there will be 45 mph winds with gusts to 70 mph.  That would stop us from going any further for a couple of days and we want to get to Desert Hot Springs to have lobster bisque at Shanghai Reds Friday evening.  So today we are going to make another long run (311 miles), to try and beat this storm.  Todays forecast calls for more of that heavy fog.  We have always avoided Los Angeles and it’s legendary traffic, but today it can’t be avoided so here we go.  The best part of pushing ourselves will be an extra two days in Palm Springs, even if it’s going to be windy for a few days there too.
