Travel Day

Today was a travel day. I’m not fond of travel days. They are sometimes long, can be hot, and boring. We are in Patterson, California tonight. We traveled 260 miles today. It was not a particularly long day, and we had 0 issues along the route. I spent most of my day either reading “A Historical Tour of Walt Disney World” or watching the farms go by. There were miles upon miles of olives, corn, and what looked like peppers. I am amazed at the precision of the planting and how precisely the trees and corn were planted. It was quite mesmerizing.

Today as we celebrate our Independence Day, I am reminded of the varied landscapes of this country. Beauty can be find in every landscape. It might be harder to find in some but there is beauty out there to be discovered.

This campground was a change from our original location and it is fairly nice. It appears a lot of people store their RV’s here as there are more than a few with the slides in and no vehicles around. The sites are close together but Tom said it’s too hot to sit outside anyway.

I did make the mistake of having Tom take out the barrier between the front and back seats. I thought the cats would like it better. Oh, they did! Penny and Samantha spent most of the day going back and forth trying to get in Tom’s lap or at his feet. Samantha finally gave up and decided my floorboard would just have to do. I’m the spare human in this family since Tom is the cat whisperer. We may have to put it back.

Upon arrival I always start the auto level of the RV and get the slides out. There were rough roads today and when I checked on the fridge, I noticed the two drawer rolling cabinet had tipped. So, I got that mostly set back up before putting the slides out. When I was finished I found a broken piece of trim. It appears it caught on something and got yanked off. It’s not a big deal but will need to be fixed as I can see the outside.

But as travel days go, this one was uneventful. Blessings to you and your journeys today.
