Day 397, February 29, 2016.   Needles, CA; Hesperia, CA

5:30 am.   Time to head west.   Only about 3 hours to go to receiver.  They said we can deliver early, as our appointment isn’t until tomorrow, so here’s hoping.

9:30 am.  Load delivered and ready to go.    No new trip yet so heading to truck stop.

10:30.  Only two hours left on clock.   Probably going to be here all day.   No new trip yet.

2 pm.  No new trip yet.   Time to take a nap!

4:30.   Well, no new trip so I guess we will go in and do laundry and shower.

7 pm.  There is a cafe here on the same lot as the Pilot.   We decided on the prime rib.   We haven’t had a steak in so long I may cry.   Precious will definitely eat good tonight too.

DG:  There was no crying but many groans and ooos and ahhhs. This place was here back in the 20s when this was just a trails crossroads. Sure glad they stuck around.

Several famous people have eaten here.


  
I think Elvis stopped here once.

More than 300 parking spots here and we had our pick as we got here this morning. Tomorrow is a mystery. The planners don’t get in until 7:00, which is 4:00 am my time. Maybe I should get to bed. All these time zone crossings gives me truck lag. It’s like jet lag but takes longer to get over.

Here are some pictures of the trip today.    The desert in California!   Still no trip.  Hope there is one tomorrow.   Goodnight y’all.
