We had about 280 miles to go today. We were on the road by 7:30 AM. No special reason it just worked out that way. Along the way…..
The Indian is watching over his land…
A new round about in the middle of the desert. Your tax dollars at work…
At the Ehrenburg AZ/CA state line. The cheapest fuel we will find until November. We got fuel about 50 miles before here. Diesel was $3.98 and gas was $3.41.
Looking at Indio/Palm Springs area.
Looking at the hill we will be staying at near Idyllwild.
We’re about half way up looking down and was in 3rd gear all the way. The engine temp stayed very low which was a little surprising. I kept my RPM’s about 2100. Coming back down I think I will be going weeeeeeeeeeeeee……
We’re now at AOR Silent Valley. They have about 800 and some sights. For $9 a night we got 50 AMP FHU and we will be here for 13 nights. They didn’t have our reservations when we arrived but it was all straighten out by AOR. The staff is really fun. Notice the power station, gray box, just behind our rig. We got real good electricity. They gave us a paper saying they were in a draught and not to water the grass. BUT it was OK to wash your rig! That was different…..and I’m not complaining at all.
Sights here are arranged differently. You drive into a little area and they have fingers which are sights. Pretty neat I think.
The temps are in the 80’s and it is real nice. We slept very well.
