Nevada and Southern California

This was definitely a driving day. We're getting close enough that our auto-pilot says 'home.'  We left Mesquite, NV (our casino town), drove through LasVegas, oogled at all the tall buildings and flashing lights, and kept driving right out of the Mojave Desert, over the Sierra Nevada Mountains and into the San Joaquin Valley.

Today we had 3G service most of the time for our hot spot, making it possible to research everything of interest to us along the way. It kept Linda busy with Google on her tablet. Did you know that the Tehachapi Pass has more turbine installations than anywhere in California? They have several different generations of power producing turbines- hundreds and hundreds of wind turbines. The internet was a great source of information, making a long driving day more enjoyable.

Tonight's campground location is Coalinga, CA. We stayed here last January. Unfortunately, the fruit and nut stand is no longer right by the campground entrance  :(
