Tues 14 April Day 93

 Sunny, calm, clear blue sky & warm in Modesto

          At Willows’ Walmart it is clear & sunny with a slight wind, but nice & warm

We pulled out of Modesto Elks @ 10:55 @ 40009 miles and on up the hwy to a gas stop In Lodi at the Flying J.  Off hwy @ 11:50 @ 40051 miles. This is the first fill since Palm Springs 501 miles ago.  The instrument panel says 592 miles to empty after the fill-up.  A gas check on the tank I filled at Palm Springs shows 7.6 mpg.  While at the gas stop, seeing as it is about noon we stopped for lunch at the Denny’s there. We both had their Valu Meals—a really good deal!  Back on the hwy at 1:20 pm it was straight through to the Walmart & Nancy’s Airport Café in Willows--a favourite place to stop. Off the hwy to park in Walmart at 3:30 @ 40169 miles. We relaxed around the RV so Sheila could  phone Vicki at home. 

Then we went over to Nancy’s Airport Café for supper.  We both had the Seniors Broasted Chicken, (2 pieces, it is deep fried & delicious), it comes with salad or soup & dessert for only $8.79. When we walked over to the Café, (it’s across the road from Walmart), they had a time & Temp read-out sign that said 7:00pm/65 F. When we left about an hour later it was only 55 F.  Tomorrow will put us over the border into Oregon.
