We were not in a big rush to leave Oasis today as we knew it
was about a 4 hour drive to Desert View RV Resort in Needles California. So
before leaving we decided to pick some more oranges to take with us as it is
great to have fresh orange juice in the morning.
It was a surprise to see the sky covered with clouds in the
morning but it did end up clearing and the daytime high was 28C. It was an
enjoyable temperature to drive and enjoy the sites.
Before moving on and talking about our new location, Cathy
and I have done some thinking about the vineyards we saw and now think they may
be vines to produce raisins. We noticed at the Fair, signs saying area grown
raisins. Makes sense since we never did see any wineries.

| Mojave Desert |
On our way here we drove through a section of the Mojave
Desert - looked just like any of the other ones we have been through. The resort
is situated right on Route 66 and contains 46 campsites. The sign when we
entered said it was full so we were hoping they still had our reservation. They
did and all is well.
