Indeed we were wrapping up the holidays -- a New Year's Eve spent watching a movie & then a final visit with Bryan. We saw the movie Philomena and recommend it for the great screen play, acting of Judi Dench, and the poignant mix of humor and sadness in this true story. (Also saw Frozen and thrilled to the music and graphics!)
But then it was time to test the question?? Could Bessie make like a snow bird??
And indeed, the slides came in and the hydraulic jacks came up. Slowly Bessie pulled out of her Sacramento pad and headed south. We drove in tandem and bored our way down I-5 through the central valley. We decided to take the Montaro along as it would be useful for those months ahead where we pretty much are staying "put." Since we aren't set up to tow her -- it meant we both had to drive.
Our current destination is Tucson, Arizona via the deserts of southern California. To avoid the LA Basin we drove for Barstow and then south. Our first night we pulled in after dark to America's favorite parking lot campground: Walmart. Oh yeah, adventure! But our second day found us in Desert Hot Springs at Sam's Family Spa and Hot Water Resort. Soaking in the mineral pools, gazing at the mountains, putting sunscreen on, and thinking about exploring the local attractions.
We will be here for a week and then keep on our slow migration!
