We had to make an urgent trip to California today in connection with refinancing the home there. On the way, there is always something interesting to see on the interstate. I saw this yellow Smart Car drive up the ramp to get on the road. Just after I took this photo, I saw a billboard on the other side of the interstate with an ad “Driving a Lemon? Want your money back?” We both LOLed at that little coincidence. Click on the image to enlarge.
Another Milestone has passed and Damsel and I are celebrating my birthday. We wanted to continue our tradition of being on the road for this occasion, but circumstances preclude that. As soon as we clear up some personal matters this summer, we hope to be able to hit the road again.
Also. Happy Birthday to Tin Can Assassin.
At about the half-way point across California on our way from the Colorado River to the old homestead, lies the Whitewater rest stop. Whitewater is located in the Banning pass between Mount San Gorgonio and Mount San Jacinto. This is an image of San Jacinto taken from the rest stop while we were taking a break from the grueling drive across I-10. Click on the image to enlarge.
I was up filling the bird feeders today after draining, flushing and securing the travel trailer in the RV drive today, when I snapped this photo of the RV parked and awaiting the next trip. Click on the image to enlarge.
On our way back from our weekend excursion, we passed the ancient petroglyphs that are just within a few yards of US 60 near Salome, AZ. We didn’t stop this time, but I photographed this shot from the truck as we rolled by an ancient treasure. Click on the image to enlarge.
Life at the river is sweet – hanging with some good friends after a poignant afternoon. Click on the image to enlarge.
We met with our river friends last evening and socialized until it was time for dinner. They drove us to the Elks Lodge, where we enjoyed some of the best Mexican food on the planet.
We retired to the trailer and enjoyed a very good night’s sleep with the exception of a brief howl from a nearby coyote, which woke us and the dogs up. We got them settled down after a few moments and fell peacefully back to sleep.
I took this photo of some folks cruisin’ southbound down the Colorado river when we were walking the dogs this morning. Click on the image to enlarge.
