WINTERING IN CALIFORNIA April 6, 2010

We have decided to take the camper to Ontario this summer so we have to do a little work on it. We ordered a new ladder and had to go to Lancaster to pick it up. Lancaster is about 115 miles northwest of Hemet and for the most part it was an enjoyable drive. Well it became enjoyable after we passed the stretch of Highway 215 between Hwy 10 and Hwy 60 as it was very congested and very fast. The latter part of the drive took us through the high desert and it was quite unique with a different selection of trees and cactus.

When driving through the high desert the evidence of how much rain California has had this year was pretty obvious. It was green. Normally by this time of year there wouldn’t be a speck of green.

During the drive we passed through part of the San Bernadino National Forest and Mormon Rock Station. The formation of the rocks were quite unique. Pictures at Eleven.

However, it was a drive for nothing as when we got to the Lance Factory we discovered that they had given our ladder to someone else. They are going to ship us one but it will be tight time wise as we are scheduled to leave here May 3rd.

In spite of not getting the ladder it was a nice drive and we enjoyed the day.
