Arriving Home

Ruth overslept and we almost missed breakfast at the motel. Don brought back scrambled eggs, sausage, raisin bagel and coffee and that got us going.

It was a nice divided highway out of Bishop so Ruth took over driving. At Independence, everything slowed as we were diverted from the highway to take side streets around the Fourth of July Parade going on Main Street. We did see the fire trucks do a spraying water demonstration (or were they cooling the kids?). Then back on track toward home.

Costco in Victorville was closed for the holiday so we ended up getting gas at Arco for $3.83/gallon. We're glad we get decent gas mileage. (We still remember $0.29/gallon gas from the 1950's and 60's.) Traffic on I-15 was terrible so we took the Garmin-recommended I-215. We sailed through. Usually it's been slow because of the construction - but quiet on the holiday. There's always a trade-off!

Home by 5:00 p.m. Cats to greet us. Life is good.
