Drive to Hemet

Monday the 12th

Well it started coming down around 1:00 AM this morning and kept coming down heavy until after 10:00 AM. Taking the kids out for their morning walk we came back to the coach soaked to the bone. Tina had a towel down on the floor and a second one for drying.

We have a short drive today so we weren't in any hurry to get on the road, opting to drive on dry roads. By 10:30 AM the sun was out and had warmed up everything, drying things outside enough so we could go out and put the kayaks on the car and the bikes on their rack.

With everything inside cleaned and put away we pulled out of Chula Vista and headed to the freeway for our drive north. We made about forty miles on I-15 before it started to come down in buckets for about twenty minutes. Gradually tapering off, we made it to I-215 where it eventually quit all together so we made it to Hemet in the dry.

Our new home is at Golden Palms Village RV Resort (http://www.goldenvillagepalms.com/) where we will be for the next thirty-five days before we leave for Bryce, Zion, the Tetons and Yellowstone. Once we were set up, we had a late lunch and went to Home Depot for a cable TV extension so we could reach the cable plug in. After that we spent the afternoon exploring our new facilities. I went and shot pool with Larry, one of our neighbors, for a couple of hours then called it a night.

Distance for this leg, 95 miles. Total for the trip so far, 6,476 miles.
