First day of the King w/ Girl Wild West show. We were close to leaving on time (between 4 & 5 am was the plan). We pulled out of Fresno @ 5:11. I'm thinking my folks could get us out of the house & on the road by 4 am in the wa-a-ay back because there was no digital equipment that needed to be programmed or downloaded. It was AM radio or the sound of the road, most times both. My cross country travel now includes GPS - Grounding Perris Sensibility.
Besides a slight bungle of the I 15/40 juncture in Barstow (did I say I hate Barstow?) and a picturesque detour through Newberry Springs, all went well. It helps to have a Big Girl daughter who drives. I remember the thrill of being entrusted with the wheel during a family vacation cross country - but that meant a station wagon with travel trailer, the combined length of which meant "watch out." That was even before those 36 wheelers were legalized. Spotted 22 of the US50 state licenses. I predict Hawaii & South Carolina will be our prize sightings. Normally I'd add South Dakota but we'll be driving through SD. Unless they hide up in their garages we'll be OK.
Had lunch at the Wagon Wheel in Needles. Sweet potato fries straight off the delivery truck. Side note: No yarn shops there -what??- a place called Needles?? PmaK & I thought On Pins in Needles could be a catchy name for a future shop.
Best sight: The Oil, Lube & Latte service center in Needles.
Best bumper sticker/Tshirt: Mess with me & you take on the whole trailer park.
Tomorrow - the land that gave witness to my birth.

Trying to comment again. The problem seems to be because I already have a google account...but it has a different # of characters in the password than they now want. If this goes through, I'll comment more later.
