I haven't been able to write in days because of low connectivity.
We left Nevada and crossed immediately into California right away. We arrived in Boron, CA and pulled into the Arabian Oasis RV Park, which was fairly horrible but the only game in town. It was very hot, full of gravel and sand and had no fence or any other kind of security.
Boron is the home of Borax and the main street is called Twenty Mule Team Road. It is a military area and shortly after we arrived we heard a huge explosion. No idea what it was but it didn't happen, again.
Yesterday we left for Visalia, CA, which is a bigger town than you would expect. Four Starbucks!!
On the way we saw an airplane graveyard on the desert and one of the biggest windmill farms we have ever seen with almost none of the windmills turning. Bizarre.
We are staying at the Visalia/Sequoia KOA, which is nice. Last night we drove around and found a whole neighborhood downtown where the fire hydrants were all hand painted in support of the local symphony and charities. They reminded me of the hydrant Jan Baker and I painted in 1976 for the 200th birthday of the country. It was supposed to be Patrick Henry and we did it at the edge of George Washington University under the sponsorship of one of the department stores. Great fun.
Today we spent a lazy day putting together marketing postcards for Andy, the buyer of our dry cleaning delivery business. We enjoy helping him and will probably continue for as long as he needs us to.
Thanks for those who have asked about Baby. She is doing much better now. YAY!!
