Bay Area

We had a good time in the Bay Area with Ira and Cathie. Saw Stef's friend Anna and her husband and beautiful baby. I may post pictures later. Right now we are in the southern California desert and there is no cell phone coverage in our campsite. We took the scooters and went about 4 miles and found another park where we had coverage.

The desert is beautiful and dry. The weather is very warm during the day and chilly at night. Bob got so tired driving here on Sunday. We made it from the Bay Area to just outside of San Bernadino. We just stopped in a rest area and got up early the next morning and took the back roads. We got to the campsite too early so we dropped off the trailer and went about 50 miles to the nearest town to buy groceries for dinner. Then we came back and it took about 1 1/2 hours to set up camp. We got all set up and went into the hot therapy pool. It was delightful! After we came out Bob was not feeling too good - I think too much therapy pool. We had dinner and barely made it to 8 pm before we fell asleep. It was a really good idea for us to take a few days and just rest before starting across the country.

Today we will just take it easy. A picnic at a cute park that has cell phone access and then back to the campsite for hikes and swimming. We stay here for a week. Lots of hiking and swimming in our futre.

It took us long enough to set up that I think we will try to stay for a few days and at each campsite and then do day hikes. We will see how that works.
