WE ARE OUT OF DODGE AND BACK ON THE ROAD!!

We got away from Firebaugh at about 6:00 PM, the mechanics worked an hour OT to get us out of there as a whole weekend parked in that compound did not have any appeal! We spend yesterday trying to keep busy as there is little there and less within 30 miles but we drove to Los Banos and saw the little town and had a Starbucks to keep us awake for a drive in the evening as we wanted to get down to Bakersfield, which is where we are this morning.

I should have had my camera yesterday in Firebaugh or a video camera actually. We did the San Joaquin river walk that is in Firebaugh, rather a nice paved path for Molly's bad feet. Karl has been to many lakes that gradually get deep and he likes to go in up to his armpits to cool and then come out unlike Moll who heads in for a little swim. So Karl stepped into the water and unbeknownst to him, there was no gradual bottom to walk in, he was swimming in seconds and came out a lovely shade of green! He took off running and growling as they do after a bath! Which little did he know that was the next thing he was now getting! The Ford dealership had a very deep sink in the men's room so he got put in there and washed!

We are leaving here pretty quick after a little brekky and should be in paradise, Borrego, by late this afternoon!!

We will be in the hot tub with a Marguarita before we know it!

Oh, yeah the damage...... 3377.69 US. The motorhome has so many new parts and fixtures that we might as well spring for new decals and have it look like the near new machine it is in many ways!!
