Day 6 Feb 21 Tuesday


Up this morning to no power so I went over to the office to pick up my coffee and a donut or 2 and reported it. With all the stormy weather they’ve been having here I figured a line was down somewhere.  Anyway the girl  phoned and when I got back the campground repairman was at the rig checking it out.  The power tested positive, but it was still out inside.  So I checked the breakers & of course one was tripped so I reset it and all was well. Who know why it popped?  Anyway, after a hearty breakfast of coffee & donuts we got ready to go.  Pulled out @ 11:10 @ 45147 miles, I guess I should clear up that I can set my speedometer etc to read in miles or so of course I use miles in the US.  Going east on Hwy 58 at 11:30 we finally got to turn on the A/C.  Sheila drove the first bit & we changed at a rest area at 12:35. Gas stop at 45275 mi at 1:45 – 2:00 then over to the Outpost CafĂ©, (a western-style restaurant) for lunch--2:00 to 3:15.   We had a leisurely lunch because the food was plentiful and good, and they provided humorous books to read while you waited for your food.  Then we were off down hwy 15 to hwy 215 and onto 10 to the Palm Springs area.  We pulled off hwy in Indio to Spotlight 29 Casino at 45380 & camped for the night at 5:10. We went into the casino to check on breakfast specials for tomorrow then Sheila stayed to gamble a bit and I returned to the RV to do the usual paper-work, (expenses, journal etc).


233 miles - 4 hrs 30 min on the road
