Nasty Weather

It was one of those nasty, raw days yesterday where the temperature never got above 56 and the second storm came through dropping another .51 " of rain. We both worked our normal schedule except I got off a little early as a result of the nasty weather. To make it worse, the winds picked up and made it a total "stay inside" day.

Today is Josie's last day in the office and my next to last day cleaning the pool and doing other "light" maintenance. Most of my time is spent at the mini golf course trying to remove the remaining glue from the previous carpet that was torn up.

We're trying to figure out where we will stay on our first night on the way to Columbia. We can split the trip in half by staying somewhere between Bakersfield and Fresno, like maybe Tulare, CA, on Rt 99 where there is a decent campground. There is a Thousand Trails campground near Sacramento, but that is too far to go and it is somewhat out of the way. The total trip is around 450 miles and pulling the trailer would take us a lot longer than we took in the Jeep. We decided when we started this adventure that we would try to keep the trips pulling the trailer to around 300 miles or less per day. That always allows us to check into a place early enough in the afternoon to relax a little and to leave in the mornings without getting up in the middle of the night in order to reach a destination. What's the rush anyway?

More of the same kind of nasty weather is expected again today, so we will just dress warm and try to stay dry. Later...
