Last night we spent parked in the Flying J RV parking area. We tried a different sleeping arrangement which worked out very well. In the past, when we were at the water ski competition, Karen and the grandchildren had occupied the hide-a-bed and small couch in the front. Since Barb and I are early risers, we decided to occupy the front and let them sleep in the back.
Before we left, Barb made a cover to enclose the 3 cushions on the couch, which we placed on the floor in the back of the coach for Jessica to sleep on.
We left the slides pulled in at the back of the coach for the night, so that we could hit the road while they continued to sleep. We are early risers and were awake a little before 4 AM so decided to get going.
Today was a long day and we traveled just short of 630 miles. (Trying to get to the warm country does that to you some times) Barb drove for several hours on the freeway as well as on the cut over to Bakersfield. We all thought that she was an awesome driver. She turned it back to me as the next leg was going to be going over the Tehachapi pass, after we fueled up at the Flying J truck stop.
We arrived at Desert Hot Springs, CA., just before 5 PM after 13 hours on the road. This is defiantly longer than we like to drive in a day, but the thought of the pool and 3 hot tubs at the park kept us going. This also means that we only have to drive 3 hours tomorrow and can spend some time relaxing in the morning.
