California, Here we are!

After spending most of the morning doing a little metal detecting (we found a Coke can, a bottle cap, a door striker, a 22 shell casing and another round metal disk) we packed up and left Quartzsite. Linda seems to like metal detecting and I am getting her to see a whole lot more of the outdoors while doing it. Funny how you can see flowers in the desert while walking that are too small to see from the coach or the Jeep.

Ran into some tough cross and head winds today, knocked the hell out of our fuel mileage. We saw some really beautiful country and a whole lot of traffic in California on our 300 miles for the day. More wind turbines in one spot then we have in pretty much all our travels.

We have stopped at a little campground, Sierra Trails RV Park in Mojave, CA. We managed to get a pull thru, with 30 amps and no sewer or cable, but it is a nice place and not far off the highway. Considering all we did today, it was a long day and we are really happy to get nice hot showers, watch a DVD and hit the sack.

Still have about 350 miles to do tomorrow to get to Sacramento to visit my Uncle but should not have any trouble making it.
