We got up this morning and were pretty focused on the news of the really bad weather front that was headed our way. The flash flood warning were in effect for the Quartzsite area, so it was good that we were leaving now, and thankful that the weather held out for us while we were here.
Here is where Brook and Mike left our caravan. They needed to get home for business, so they took Highway 10 and headed to Bakersfield. We headed out 95 to Barstow. The rain was gradually coming down harder and harder, and as we approached Barstow, the news reports of the weather over the Tehachapi’s was calling for increasing chance of snow and freezing rain. The forecast for the next day, when we were planning on going through there, was even worse. So we decided to take our chances and continue through Tehachapi and on into Bakersfield. We gave Brook and Mike a call, and they secured reservations for us at the park they were staying in. We arrived about 2 and a half hours after they did. We are staying at The Orange Grove RV Park. The parking spots are situated in an actual orange grove and you are allowed to pick all the oranges you want while you are staying here!
We had left over lasagna for dinner and exchanged all of our pictures. The guys decided to go home on highway 99 instead of 5 to avoid the storm as much as possible. We plan on leaving early and taking it slow.
