1 bus to Lake Charles LA

... spending the night at Blythe CA

Up with the alarm this AM. Short night. Breakfast was yogurt and an egg patty.

Rolling at 7 AM local, sun is already up.

This hotel has a big dip where I came in last night. No issue coming in but I always drag going out. So today I went all the way around the building and no bottoming out.

1st stop is the Avenal rest area. When we come back out, we see the truck that just pulled in next to me has his chains hanging out his supply door on the passenger side. Didn't see him before we left, hope he does his 'walk around.'

2nd stop is the Petro in Lebec. We chose this one for the Iron Skillet and their buffet. But the Skillet is gone and it is now a IHOP. We went to Wendy's, not sure it was any faster.

When I pulled in the parking lot here, I had ran over a Wendy's bag. When I did my walk around, I saw that the bag had a diaper in it. Likely an adult diaper and now it was a real mess. ??? If you are in the parking lot, most likely you are walking past a trash can going into the building.

3rd stop ... just a few miles down the road. I have a yellow STOP light on. So I pull off at the next wide spot and the light goes off. Back on the highway and it comes back on so I pull off in Gorman at the exit and call the after hours number.

... that light means the heater / AC is not working. I can keep going. (glad I am on I-10 and not I-90)

Another hour or two down the road and I notice that my volt meter is not working. And them my STOP light starts blinking instead of being on solid or being off.

4th stop was a Kohl's parking lot. I fit. We had talked about going to a truck stop but I guessed on a Saturday in LA, Los Angles, it would be full. This worked. BB used the restroom, I made my calls.

Volt meter? the red light on it that was flashing means it, the gauge, is not working. Keep driving it.

I am starting to see a pattern here. I'm thinking they are all being caused by one yet unknown thing.

OPPS ... I made my permit for the wrong day. My NM. So now I need to deal with that sometime tomorrow. Later tonight I do try to call on it but the line is always busy.
