We're back in California!
According to the odometer, we drove exactly 200 miles today. We're staying the night in a KOA near Barstow, CA, just down the road from Peggy Sue's Diner and about 87 miles southeast of the thriving metropolis of Cantil. This area is famous for having access to BLM and OHV areas where off-road enthusiasts can get their vehicles dirty! In fact, this weekend marks an annual MogFest, where devotees of the Mercedes-Benz UniMog gather to tear up the desert! They drive out the back side of the campground and have access to miles and miles of desert and mountain trails. Great fun!
The weather here is absolutely beautiful, and the camping sites are among lacy trees. It's been a great afternoon. Tomorrow we'll head into the madness of Southern California, but fortunately, we only need to go about 150 miles. That's enough! A motorhome parked next door to us is being operated by two British couples. They bought an older motorhome last year, and store it in Norco, California, a town in Southern California. They fly over for a three week vacation and see the sights. Great idea! Extraordinarily nice people, if a bit difficult to understand. They're from Cornwall, England....your guess is as good as mine...and were regaling us with stories of driving the large motorhome out of Southern California, trying to adjust to the traffic and the annoyance of driving on the "wrong" side of the road! Glad we don't have to do that!
Y'all take care...we'll talk again in a few days!
