The non-adventure of Day three
Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 10:09 pmVery short as I'm parked in a Wal-Mart parking lot and don't want to turn on the generator just for email.
Compared to yesterday, driving today was kind of boring! After cleaning the dirt and grime off the pickup from yesterday's adventure (gee, it's actually WHITE!), I drove from Dunnigan, CA down to Fresno, about 215 miles. Only real excitement was buying a set of Allen wrenches. Since I'm not paying for a site tonight, decided to amble across the street to Home Town Buffet. Not bad. And that's the day. Tomorrow I'm going to try to get as far as Barstow, with the required stop at Camping World in Bakersfield. Trudy, anything I should see in Barstow? After that, another 200 mile+ day out 40 and down 95 to Blythe, where I'll hang around for about a week and decompress after all the traffic before driving into San Diego. Today I'm officially on the Southern California page of the map.

And I look forward to my nights at Wal-mart - I get my shopping done and a place to sleep all at one time. The buffet sounds nice. Got to treat yourself sometimes.
