First Stop: Kramer Junction

The sound of the waves hitting the beach and the noise from the traffic on Hwy 75 have been replaced with the steady base hum coming from the engine of the diesel truck whose driver decided it was a good idea to park next to us last night in the dirt lot where US 395 & CA 58 meet, known as Kramer Junction.  The steady hum was almost like a white noise lullaby....almost.

After camp hosting at the Silver Strand since late March, we are more than ready to get on the road again.   We had a myriad of tasks to accomplish in San Diego before leaving it all behind to make new memories and are pleased that most of those tasks were completed. 

With all the effort of seemingly endless taks behind us we are looking forward to our trip to Northern California, Oregon, and Washington.

We left the Silver Strand yesterday after last minute dental appointments.  Even afer 11 years of traveling in the motorhome, it is still an effort to get all the pre-travel chores taken care of.   We had to dump the black and grey tanks, take on fresh water, and gas up.  By 2pm we were FREEEEEEEE!!! and headed north on I-15.

Bob does a great job finding the right lane.

We encountered light traffic through Cajon Pass on I-15.  This pass is a lot less intimidating than Tejon Pass on I-5 where there are many more trucks traveling inches away from the side of our motorhome.

 We turned off the 15 in the high desert onto 2-lane US 395.  This section of highwy can be dangerous, but we made it through just fine.  The wind speed was reported to be only 14mph and driving was a breeze.

 We'll be leaving Kramer Junction by 10am on our way to Oh! Ridge campground at June Lake.  Lots of beautiful scenery and relaxation awaits.
