My last night before arriving in the Los Angeles area is in Indio, CA. On my first trip across country in my 5th wheel, I stayed overnight at an "RV Resort" in Indio, and from that time on I have studiously avoided any business with the word "resort" in it. The RV Park personnel had an inflated view of the place and I was glad to get out of there.
I'm in a lovely motel, a style from the 1950's but updated beautifully. The ceiling and back wall have murals painted on them, and I believe they are different in every room (from what I read on the motel reviews). The bathroom has been updated and the tile, pedestal sink, etc., are so nice. Hair dryer, ironing board, iron, fridge & 'wave, round out the amenities (I don't count huge LCD TV's as an amenity, as I think a regular old fashioned TV is as much of an amenity!
The heat continues, but from what I hear it will be much cooler when I get close to the ocean.
I've done sort of an attitude adjustment and instead of worrying about getting through the L.A. traffic, I'm envisioning, and certain I will find, any traffic parting just like the Red Sea did when Moses held up his stick. (I think that was Moses?) Well, I will let you know tomorrow afternoon if the red sea traffic got out of my way.

I left the motel fairly early and drove the city streets over to Dr. Bergman's clinic. There were just 3 turns to make, or a total of 3 streets. The traffic lights and the distance (about 6 or 7 miles), plus not being sure where I was...
- Still In New Mexico
I'm still in the Land of Enchantment. Since I had to pass by the V/C at White Sands this morning, I exchanged a tank top that I bought and got the next size up. I think they must run small because I know I've lost weight. ...
- Alive!
A few times today I wasn't sure I'd make it. First of all, until I reached Youngstown, Ohio (eastern side of the state) there was fog and light precipitation all day. The foggy haze wasn't bad enough so that you couldn't...
- Day 1 - Nevada
Sacramento to Ely, NV: 445 miles; 9 hrs. On Wednesday I realized I had no TV or internet connection - I mistakenly asked AT&T to turn it off on Apr. 1 rather than Apr. 2. No TV and no internet is hard to deal with when you...
