8:30 a.m. - Pulled out of Bob and Carol;s place and said our good-byes to Carol about 7:00 a.m. as she left for work. Looks like a beautiful day again here today. The temperature is a pleasant 60 degrees this a.m. with sunny, clear skies. We are taking the 202 W. to the 101 W. to the I-10 W. In the car pool lane and just sailing along. The weather is suppose to be nice today, about 70 degrees and tomorrow in the80s. Traffic is kinda heavy going into the Phoenix area. We still they are still harvesting Cotton down here and the oranges on the trees are starting to ripen.

11:00 a.m. - We stopped at Quartzite, AZ for gas, walk and to check things out at this big flea market they have at this time of the year. It is 56 degrees and sunny, and windy (as usual). Picked up a few things we thought we needed. hahahahaha.

1:00 p.m. - Back on the road toward Gary and Brenda's in LaVerne, CA. Crossed into CA! Made it this far and we got through the inspection with no problem, at 62 degrees at Blyth, CA. We now have to put our clocks back another hour for pacific time. Crossing the Chirraco Summit at 1700 ft with 65 degrees and sunny.

1:15 p.m. - This is a picture of the windmills that are along this road, generating electricity to the city of Indio. Stopped for a break at our usual place on Dillon Road in Coachella, CA where gas is $3.29 gallon

4:00 p.m. - Arrived at Brenda's with 84 degree temperature! Brenda and Gary just had their home remodeled and it looks beautiful! They raised the ceilings to all be the same height and put in new lighting, floors, doors, windows, completely new kitchen and appliance, redid the downstairs bathroom. It looks very, very nice and spacious. Had a great evening with her and the kids. Gary had to work late, but came in later. Antonio had a basketball practice for awhile. They sure have busy schedules! Oh to be so young and have so much energy!
