On our journeys, we try to pass through California’s Central Valley as quickly as possible since the place is, frankly, quite boring unless interested in farming. From our house in San Diego, we are obliged to traverse this area on any trips to or from the Pacific Northwest so we just have to make do – quickly.

Yesterday we knocked out better than 200 miles, about our limit for a day considering the time to break down and store all our stuff, disconnect from park utilities, hook up the trailer and connect the brakes, get out on the road to do the wayfinding and highway driving at California’s lethal, breakneck maximum towing speed of 55 mph and registering and setting up utilities in the new location.

With that in mind, we went no place today other than a fuel station to fill up the tank because tomorrow we will knock out another 200+ mile day into southern California, specifically to the foothills below Sequoia National Park.

It was quite nice doing nothing today. I seem to be quite good at it.
