We made it to Brawley today (132 miles). It rained a bit going over the mountains and there were patches of snow on the side of the road. Once in the Imperial valley, the sun was out and it was warm but windy. Gas at Costco El Centro was $2.959, elsewhere it is $3.059.
Don had a watchful eye for the different crops being grown in the Valley - he didn't remember seeing corn growing here, and there was one field he didn't recognize so we stopped and determined it was cantaloupes (he didn't remember that growing here either). There was also a field filled with burlap bags we expect were filled with onions or leeks. We should have stopped and looked more carefully so we could be accurate.
