Tuesday Aug 28 thru Friday Aug 29 - Sacramento CA to Bisbee AZ

 

All driving for two days. We just punched Bisbee into Google Maps and went wherever she told us to go. We stayed Thursday night at The Skylark, a great retro motel with a cheap off season rate and a restaurant (Lost Property Restaurant) in Palm Springs Ca, exactly half way between Sacramento and Bisbee. Google re-routed us a couple times and took us on some nice back roads to avoid Los Angeles congestion we assume. Rt 138 and Rt 14 and some local roads.

We crossed the Arizona line and filled up with gas which is a dollar cheaper in AZ.

Got back to Bisbee around 4:30, emptied the van contents into the driveway so we can sort and clean everything, then got the water running again.The water company had turned off the water because of something racking up a big bill. Turns out a faucet was stuck on in the upstairs bedroom sink, which is the faucet I had had trouble with before. Our friend Dave had turned our water main off a few days ago and I had the water company turn theirs back on. Looks like I need to find a new cartridge..

Nothing in the fridge so we went downtown for a celebratory drink and dinner at the Table Restaurant. Our friends Dave and Deb and their granddaughter Stella were there so we joined them for dinner. Back to the house and to bed. It’s good to be home.

Our entire trip took 8 weeks and we drove 10680.
