Corning, Ca – Monday February 10, 2020

Today is Brian’s Birthday, I don’t remember how old he is but he was born in 1982.

WordPress has had an update and I maybe able to write posts offline and than upload them after they are written. The goal is to save some data, we’ll see what happens. (Didn’t work very well, I had 4 pictures and only 2 uploaded), ( I went back and added the missing pictures, see if this works)

We drove 377 miles today and got to the sun.

Here is today’s drive.

There is a north and south rest stop here with easy access to both sides so we ended up on the north side with a almost level spot where we can put out the bedroom slide. It is also 72 degrees here.

That is it for today 480 miles tomorrow.

Boron, Ca – Monday April 8, 2019

After a week at Death Valley.

Here is today’s drive

This is the second time I I posted this, my cellphone connection died in the middle of a upload and trashed the post and my login. Took 45 minutes Tuesday 4/9 to get logged in.

I will catch up we get to the big house, Tuesday 4/9 ended up being a 509 mile day but we are out of the dust storm in southern Cal.

Death Valley, CA – Saturday April 6, 2019

 

Last year I replace the water pump because it was beginning to leak and I didn’t have time to get the parts and rebuild the pump and test it before we hit the road. I also wanted a pump to use to add water to the holding tank when we are boonedocking. This is what I came up with. I do need to add a switch to the power cable and will do that while at the big house this April/May.

Death Valley, CA – Wednesday April 3, 2019

Today we drove north again heading toward “The Race Track”. This is where under the right conditions rocks move across the ground by themselves.

The sign as you leave the paved road has a picture of a little 4X4 Jeep, and they mean it. It is 27 miles to the Race Track so that make it a 54 mile trip. The “road” is a jeep road with lots a axle braking rocks, soft sand and loose rocks, the kind of road you have to drive every foot. After 45 minutes and 7 miles we decided it would be wise to turn around and head back. It took another 1.5 miles before I found a place in the road I wanted to turn around. The road way is not very wide with all the deep loose rocks I didn’t want to get stuck trying to turn around. Having both the front and back wheels in this loose rock at the same time did not seem like a good idea.
