blow its horn. We got up this morning and got going. It smelled heavenly outside…Orange Blossoms…um, um, UM. There are so many orange groves the air was saturated with their perfume for miles! This is where we were last night, the Bakersfield Palms RV Resort. We were very close to our neighbors!We hit the road at 8:05 heading east on highway 58. It wasn’t windy this morning when 
we started out. 
I just love the drive up the Tehachapi Mountains, they are just so pretty and there were lots of wildflowers. I like all the oak trees and there are many interesting rock formations. 
The city of Tehachapi spreads out in all directions in its valley that is rimmed by hundreds of windmills.

The city of Tehachapi spreads out in all directions in its valley that is rimmed by hundreds of windmills. Around Barstow we had to take 15 north to pick up Interstate 40 east. Diesel was $4.219 in Barstow. Interstate 40 begins there outside of Barstow and goes all the way to Wilmington, North Carolina…there was a sign that let us know that it was 2,554 miles to get there! 
I think a lot of people think the southwest is mostly flat…not true! We spent a lot of time climbing mountains today and at one point fighting a very stiff headwind…not good for the mileage. 
Bad winds most of the way east of Barstow. Gusting 35mph winds tonight when we landed east of Flagstaff at Meteor RV Park at 6:30. The wind made setup miserable and cold for Larry and we are rocking pretty hard off and on….we could get “sea sick”, at least we are pointed into the wind. We traveled 522 miles today.
We saw boring terrain, interesting rocky terrain, an area of gorgeous blooming Ocotillos, and snow patches around Flagstaff where it was very cold. We never linger around Flagstaff…they are not RV friendly so we just pass it on by! We also saw lots and lots of trains…you can’t hardly get away from them along the interstates down here. I hear ones horn as I type…at least it is a little farther away tonight!
