Off to California!

The brittlebush flowers are in full bloom and made an edge of yellow along the highway --



Auntie Violet literally shook her skirts free of desert dust this morning as we headed down Interstate 8 towards California. With our leaving, there was only one transient RV left at M & M Park and he had Forry shaking his head. The fellow was pulling a 25 foot trailer with a 1/2 ton pickup that didn't even have a tow package installed and no auxiliary braking system. He was complaining rather bitterly about how overheated it gotten... Forry suggested he perhaps needed at least a towing package or even a bigger rig, but he responded it "would just cost too much..."


We didn't push too hard today. We don't have reservations in Ramona until tomorrow. We stopped just east of El Cajon at the Golden Acorn Casino near Campo where we will spend the night. We did go into the casino for dinner, but were both still so full from the Texas Roadhouse last night that Forry just had a hamburger and I had some huevos rancheros.
