We left Palm Desert and with not much time to spare until
our next rotation began in Bullhead City. Only about half of the drive was on
the Interstate and the rest on some great highways. We stopped in Lake Havasu
City, AZ at the Havasu Falls RV Resort and enjoyed the pool for a few hours
talking with a couple from San Diego who were on their last part of their 30
day travel to many of the National Parks in Utah and Arizona.
Worked for Lt Blender at Sam’s in Bullhead City and this
event was so much better than Palm Desert. We only had a mile ride on our
bikes, the place was so much busier and we made much better sales which made us
much more money. We hope this trend continues since we are planning several
more rotations with this company.
We left Bullhead City and headed to Sacramento with a few
great travel days and one that was very challenging. We left Barstow and headed
to Bakersfield with a short day of 150 miles planned. Most of the drive there
was wind, even though the weather predicted no wind for that day. This is a
major truck route and when they passed us we felt the additional wind a few
times when it felt it had lifted us off the ground.
In some areas it is a two lane highway that had all double
yellow lines which meant NO PASSING EVER, apparently this idiot in a black
sports car did not see those lines. He had 2 semis and about 6 cars ahead of
him when he came out into our lane…at first we thought it was a vehicle we were
catching up to but then we realized he was coming right at us and would not be
able to pass all these vehicles and it looked as if he did not even consider
getting back in line. We had to leave the highway onto the emergency lane
completely as he barely missed us.
At another moment we watched a jet plane that was really low
make a turn towards us that came even lower and then it was gone…weird!
About a mile to our exit we began to take a deep breath and
relax but then there was an accident between two semis which took us over an
hour for that last mile.
We are so grateful that these were all close calls and
nothing really happened to us but we are so happy that those not so great
travels days are few and far between each other and we are grateful that we are
now out of the heat and into some perfect temperatures both days and nights.
For the next 10 days we are hanging out in the Isleton/Lodi area just relaxing until our next rotation at Sam's Club in Sacramento begins.
