November 4th

Burr it was cold this morning when we got up to head north some more.  I looked at the temp and it was 34 degrees.  So I put on jeans this morning, no shorts this morning.  But by our first stop it was getting warm so back on the shorts went.  We pulled out of the Soldad Camp Ground at just before 8:00 AM and was heading north on 14 to Lancaster. and then made a right on 138 to I-5.
 As we were heading down 138 we came across a lot of these Solar Farms, and they covered a lot of acres.

 I always enjoy seeing the Joshua Trees and the neat ways that they grow.
 The road was good and will use this one again when we are heading south and going to Soldad.
 I was wondering where the slides were that we seen on the news about a month ago.  As you can tell they must of had a whole lot of rain in a very short time.  Take a look at the next few pictures, a lot of mud came off of those hills.




 This was amazing how much mud came down.


We made it down off of the grapevine and are now heading up towards Lake Mindon NACO Park.  It is about 20 miles north of Sacramento on 99.  We drove just over 420 miles today.  This is our longest drive of our trip back north.  The weather was really pretty good, had a 10 to 15 MPH winds today out of the northwest, so ate a little hole in the fuel but not bad.  I told Cyndy, watch on our way back down the wind will be out of the southeast.  That is the kind of luck we have when driving through California.  So tomorrow we are only drive 350 miles and will be spending the night at the Seven Feathers Casino, they have a great buffet, hear there machines are tight, but we never play just fill the belly with good food.  Tomorrow the mountains and looking forward to being over them.
