After a hectic Saturday, we are getting a late start on our trip to Arizona and Florida. It is raining hard at the moment and travel may be a little problematic, so we may not make our Day-1 goal of Bakersfield.
Monday AM
We got on the road about noon and drove down 99 in heavy rain. There were way too many people driving much too fast for conditions, without their headlights on in a lot of cases and still weaving in-and-out without turn signals. We hugged the right lane and tried to stay out of everyone's way. We saw at least a have dozen spin-outs and accidents.
The rain finally eased-up around Merced and we had partly cloudy skies and occasional light showers, but windy, until we got to Fresno. Lunch was in the RV behind a gas station in Chowchlila. We finally arrived at the RV park in Bakersfield along the Kern River around 8:00 pm, had a light dinner and went to bed.
We are going to take the Tehachapi route to Palm Desert today. The weather looks good, no rain, with a forecast of 87 degrees and sunny in Palm Desert. All the equipment in the RV is working well and the truck tows just fine. We did notice we have a headlight out in the truck which we will deal with when we get to Phoenix.
