Heading Out
We had a very nice, uneventful start to our trip. We were going the right direction heading out of LA and met with very little traffic. We were on the road by 9:15...wow! We were amazed by all the housing growth off of 395 heading north near Victorville. We always wonder where all these people work?
There's not a lot to see on 395 but it's a good road with lots of 4-lane sections and passing lanes. The scenery gets good just before Lone Pine when Mt. Whitney comes in view. There is still a lot of snow on the Sierras. But it was hot, near 100, and I wasn't in the mood to take pictures. Maybe I'll get some early tomorrow.
We stopped in Bishop, CA after 270 miles. A campground neighbor recommended Highland RV so we pulled in and it looked good. Lots of trees but we found a good site. We're so happy with our upgraded satellite system. Just press a couple of buttons and 7-10 minutes later were online.
The temperature was 98 when we parked and is supposed to drop to 56 tonight....yeah, right! We're at 4100 feet. With the heat and altitude we're drinking lots of water, taking it slow and easy. We'll stay a day here to relax and maybe catch a sight or two. After all, we're in no rush :).

I can't remember where you're you are going...Are you going anywhere in the northwest close to Spokane or Coeur d'Alene??
