On the road by 8:30. We encountered wind early in the drive and Robin figured if it kept up, it could be a long day. Lots of rocking, not to mention the impact on the gas tank, as we were pretty much driving into the wind while it lasted. But it was only an issue for about an hour. We may have made a wise choice to leave Havasu today, as there are more wind warnings for tomorrow, with gusts up to 50mph.
The low plants and bushes along the sides of the roads were covered with yellow and white flowers, with the occasional splash of purple or blue, and frequent bursts of fuchsia on the prickly pear cacti.

Another enjoyable drive - today we started listening to one of the books from the Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson. It sure helps to pass the time.
We drove to Bakersfield today, getting into the RV park around 3pm. When we were still well on the outskirts of town, we suddenly smelled orange blossoms, even though there were no groves in sight. Before long, however, we started seeing the blooming trees, and the aroma is lovely. We are camped at Orange Grove RV Resort, so you know it smells really nice (not too overpowering). Relaxing afternoon enjoying the sweet air and sunshine.

The beautiful Tehachapi Pass
Haven't decided yet how far we'll go tomorrow. Thinking about Lodi. We stayed there a couple of years back, and they have a lot of wineries there with tasting rooms, so we may decide to spend a couple of days there. It's not that far up the road from here, so we may decide to push through a bit further. We'll see what our mood and the day brings.
Until next time, dear readers.
