Up The San Joaquin Valley

It is a very warm day in the San Joaquin Valley of California, where I am currently heading up to Marin County for the book signing event by former Secret Service Agent Clint Hill.

I am taking it easy heading up. I left around 5:30 this morning, only because I didn't want to mess with the morning rush hour.

As I am not in any kind of hurry, I made a few stops. The first was for coffee and breakfast in Gorman. Next, it was for fuel somewhere near Buttonwillow on I-5. The next stop was at a rest area in the Coalinga-Avenal area.

I made it to my day's destination, the KOA Kampground in the Los Banos area. It was a good thing I got there when I did (around 11:30), I was starting to feel drowsy.

I will be heading the rest of the way to Marin County tomorrow morning and will be staying at a RV park in the area. The event with Clint Hill will be Saturday afternoon. I am looking forward to it. So all I'll have to drive tomorrow is 125 miles.

Oh, yes, I did manage to see one Donald Trump sign along the way. It read: "Another Farmer For Trump".

The Beast is performing splendidly!
