Jan 20 Day 11 clear & sunny, nice & warm

 

We pulled out of Santa Cruz Elks @ 156396 @ 10:25, Sheila driving.  We went south as far as Monterey but no more coast views.  We then headed towards Salinas and the hwy to Bakersfield.  Changed drivers 11:30, then a lunch stop 12:45 to 1:45.  I pulled into a Pilot station to get gas & try my Flying J/Pilot charge card.  The charge card worked great.  I just put it in, keyed in my control number, pumped gas and finished, no going into the station to set up a credit amount on the pump, then back in again to get the receipt, all the while often waiting in line at the cashier.  Also, I got 4 cents a gallon off with the card.   Into the gas station @ 3:25 @ 156717, out @ 3:35.  Off, down the road & into the Orange Grove RV Park at 156806 at 4:15.  We got settled into our spot amongst the orange trees.  We will stay here for 3 nights for R & R and to do little jobs that the good weather makes possible – wash car & RV, and little clean-up, fix-it jobs in & outside the RV.
