Although we have reached our final destination for this trip we have not left the country yet, so although for the last few days we have been cleaning the trailer and truck, we have also been finding a bit of time for looking around the place. Yesterday we took an evening tour round the San Bernadino Mountains, to a place called Idyllwild and watched the sunset, We climbed to over 6000 feet on tortuous mountain roads, with breathtaking views. It made for a lovely evening.
A piece of good news, California State Parks provide a Disability Pass, so we thougth we would try and get one, so armed with Sally's Blue Badge we went to a local State Park. After a lot of discussion between a very friendly Ranger, her immediate boss (who said no) and her top boss (who said yes), Sally and I have been able to get a 50% discount pass for California State Parks. This will mean a very considerable saving when we return in the Fall, as S.P. campgrounds cost anything up to $45 p.n. normally!
In Brief
After a brief vacation in Florida, visiting friends, we collected the trailer in Dallas and then headed North to Guthrie, OK, from there we followed Route 66 West. We spent time seeing many of the natural wonders of the South West as well as finding out more about the Native American culture of the area. We flew back from Los Angeles on May 24th.
