Today we hit the road heading for California; it was very
windy hitting the coach head on making it a little harder on gas. It was sunny
with a high of 20C.
We left around 9:30 and arrived at the Oasis Palms RV Park
in Oasis California at 2. When leaving Phoenix we had just changed lanes on the
freeway when an end table appeared on the lane we just came from. But from the
debris something flew up and chipped our windshield. In some ways we have been
lucky not to have received a chip by now.

When we crossed the border into California we lost another
hour in time making it 3 in total. So now when we want to watch the Evening
News at home we have to tune in at 3 o’clock. This will make it hard being in
the middle of the afternoon. So we may
have to watch the 11 o’clock news at 9. (Better!)

Both navigating devices indicated a short cut to get to the campground. It was called Box Canyon Road. We decided to take it and as we continued along Cathy was getting more and more nervous about where we were going to end up. The road condition was good but there was no place to turn around and she was worried it was going to turn into a path. This has happened to us before on another journey.

We already have met a few people here - you’ll never guess
where. (AT HAPPY HOUR!!!) Yes, they have one at 4 o’clock every day. J There are a lot vacationing here from British
Columbia and Oregon. We will have to get
some pictures tomorrow.
All for now...
