Day 29 – April 8 – Boring California

I walked over to the Hotel/Casino office to check out – there is a time and temperature display on one of the buildings and the reading was 9:40 and 81 degrees.  Rick had talked to a person from Canada yesterday in the RV Park and the Canadian said they were heading north because it was getting too hot in Vegas.  I think half of the campers in the RV Park had Canadian license plates and there were a lot of empty spaces this morning as we headed out.

The drive from Las Vegas to the West Coast is one of the most boring ones you can take.  The road crosses the Mojave Desert and there are not even towns to help break up the desert.  This drive is up there with western Kansas on I-70 or southern Nebraska on I-80.  The main difference with those highways is we did have a couple of large hills to go up and down and did not have the wind we have always had on I-70 or I-80.

We are currently about 80 miles from San Diego in the town of Perris, California.  The temperature here was 91 degrees when we got to the Wal-Mart parking lot.  We walked about a block and a half to Jack in the Box for supper and then stopped at Wal-Mart for a few supplies.

Tomorrow the jeans go into storage for a while and the shorts come out.  We hope to get into a campground near San Diego for a couple of days.  The campground does not accept reservations so we are hoping for the best.
