1 August 2007

No internet, didn't need to watch the weather, so I got going pretty quickly. Figures, I only have about 200 miles to go.

It was mid-80's starting out, I pretty much opened all the vents. Lots of butterflies flittering around the agricultural areas, several of which ended up in my face. Once again I took 115 around Brawley. I'm not sure it's quicker, but I don't like Brawley.

Coming out of Westmoreland, it looked like rain ahead. I debated changing gloves, but didn't right away. About six miles before 78 turned west, it started coming down--I pulled over and changed gloves, and it was the heaviest rain of the trip--I couldn't even see the numbers on GPS. By the time I got to the turn, it had slacked off quite a bit, and a couple miles up the road I pulled over and changed back to regular gloves.

The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful, except mileage sucks on California gas. Pulled into the driveway at 1130.

State: California.
223 GPS miles (11427 total), 57.3 moving average, 80.6 max.
