Last night was a “first”… We “camped” at a Wal-Mart. Yep, after all this time on the road, visiting all those different campsites from resorts to dry desert and ocean beach fronts, we finally drove into a Wal-Mart and camped the whole night long. Not that it’s such a big thing but we were just never in the right place or the right time. After a long drive from Kettleman to San Bernardino on some typical California freeways (which are some of the worst roads we have ever encountered), and not having found a campground close by, we pulled into the first Wal-Mart we saw as we came into San Bernardino. To our surprise it wasn’t one of the “Super Stores” so we weren’t able to do any grocery shopping. First thing this morning we awoke with a lot of “big rigs” moving around and finding their way back to the freeways. We continued on Highway 215 to 10 until we got to our next campsite at Desert Hot Springs about 1:30. Tomorrow we will again have a long drive of about 20 miles to Indian Waters RV Resort in Indio. We are going to be there for 2 weeks. This is the longest stop since leaving Fall City a little over a month ago and I’m looking forward to it. This will give us a little time to do some fixing, cleaning, and a little more time for reading a good book.
