This was a killer day and and even worse drive. We were up at 5 and left around 6:30 while it was still dark We pretty much retraced our steps going to Casa Grande. We jumped on Hwy 8 and turned on 85 at Gila Bend. North to Hwy 10 west. In Quartsite we turned north on 95. We took 95 through Parker and Lake Havasu. Then jumped on 40 West to Needles. We veered off onto 15 to 58 across to Bakersfield. The mountains had snow on them. At Bakersfield we hit 99. Finally we took 41 into Oakhurst. We arrived in Oakhurst about 6 PM. We drove 686 Mile's in 11 1/2 oops that should be 12 1/2 hours as we gained an hour coming back into Pacific Daylight Time. Of course that means we will lose an hour going home. We stopped for gas three times once just as we left Casa Grande. Once in Parker and once at Murray family Farms. We had lunch at Subway in Needles. Steve took advantage of not having a trailer on the back and drove like a madman.
I drove after lunch for about half an hour. Or I should say I sat in the driver's seat while Steve drove. I pulled in at the first rest stop so he could sit in the actual driver's seat. I won't offer to drive again.
We ate at the Taste of China here in Oakhurst which was OK. We are staying at the Best Western in Oakhurst which is clean and dog friendly. Hazel has not pooped so I will walk her in a bit. Tomorrow we pick up the Teryx and do this all over again. Yeah. At least the trailer will slow Steve down some what.
