It’s been a busy day. A 290 mile drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to drop the RV off was the highlight so far. I saw many parts of my 2011 route across the USA. I can’t quite believe I ran in some of these places.
Ivanpah Dry Lake, Barstow, Victorville and the mighty Cajon Pass (which is what I called the dogging capital of California back then! It’s a long story) were amazing to see again.
The RV got dropped off successfully. There was a charge for the extra 1800 miles that we didn’t sign up to. Ouch! Other than that, they were pleased with my efforts to clean the toilet/shower and there’s no damage.
Support man Phil picked me up and I’m typing this from the comfort of his air conditioned office while he finishes work.
There’s dinner planned for tonight where I might just have my first beer since March!
It’s been great to see the donations pouring in to St. Benedict’s Hospice today. The total is now over £27,000 which is quite something. There’s is also money in the pipeline so there’s a ways to go just yet.
I’m hoping to meet a few ex pats in Huntington Beach tomorrow evening for a beer. Plans to follow.
