Where were you with your NEWMAR today?

Made it to Little Bear near HWH, and this place is dryer than a popcorn fart. I had just cleaned the coach and jeep, and now they're both a cement gray color.

Mission Bay RV Resort San Diego, California

I left Gila Bend, Arizona yesterday and drove over to Mission Bay San Diego. I had a nice drive on I-8 which is not a heavily travelled Interstate... Leaving Arizona crossing into California the posted speed limit is 70 mph unless you are truck or towing then it's posted for 55 mph. My Garmin also indicated the speed limit for 55 mph. I topped off my fuel in Yuma, Arizona as the price of diesel is $1.00-$1.50 more a gallon in California. From sea level I had to traverse 4 passes of 4,000 feet. That is quite a climb coming from sea level and the temperature was in the upper 80s but my temperature gauge for the engine stayed well within appropriate limits. I don't know if I would want to do those pulls in the heat of the Summer... Along the drive in California there is a Border Patrol inspection facility. I encounter these frequently in my travels in New Mexico and Arizona. As you roll up in your coach they always ask how many are traveling with me despite their knowing as your vehicle is scanned driving up to the Border Patrol agent. They also ask if you are a US citizen. I thanked the agent for his service, which he appreciated, and he said he was thankful they can now do their job...

I will be here for 2 weeks hanging out with friends, but my stay here is really intended to go up to West Hollywood a few times and spend time with my oldest daughter and meet my newest Granddaughter...
