We are in the desert!! It a boring and uneventful trip... emphasis on boring. Did I say boring?
Well, that's not quite true. The trip over the mountains outside of Bakersfield was a bit dramatic as there was very dense fog. I couldn't see the motorhome in front of me and sometimes could barely see the front of the truck I was driving. Then of course, there was the wind factor. I didn't feel it, but Steve did as he was driving a billboard down the highway.
We have been nesting today moving stuff around and figuring out the systems in the motorhome. Apparently, the aquahot system (heat and hot water) needs service as when it runs it produces a giant black soot spot on the ground. I can't believe that's normal. But we have an appointment in a couple weeks for a guy to service it out here in the desert.

We parked in a rural area. After setting up and claiming our spot, we were informed that we are going to be near 40 Allegro motorhomes - which is exactly the brand of ours. I knew they were having a rally out here just didn't realize is was right next door. It is a good thing actually since they can answer our questions about this coach. And... they are only scheduled to be there a few days.

We are going for our all-time record - 18 days of boondocking. We'll see how the tanks last.

So far the weather is in the 70s and there's a bit of wind - although its not too bad.

I am running out of battery power.. so I'll update again later.
