May 5th on to Patterson, CA

We left Indio on another very sunny day. The wind farms along the interstate look like they have expanded. Sorry no pictures. There are large ones, small ones, 3 blades and 2 blades. Sure hope it is making a dent in the electricity consumption. Then we started seeing more flowers. These are some of the ice plants that are along the 210 corridor. I love spring and early summer for the color that you see.
Also seen was the not so lovely LA smog. This sort of shows it. It seems like it is getting worse instead of better.


But on the brighter side are the fields of california poppies. They make this beautiful splash of orange on the hillside.

To me it looks like God did a velvet painting on the hillside. These are blue and purple lupine. To the texans they are blue bonnets. The other part of our drive today was on very rough roads. So I won't complain about all the road work going on. To me it means there are more people being employed. This was our longest day but we arrived at the Kit Fox RV Park around 4 pm. Diesel today was 3.40 and 3.26. The diesel gods were frowning.
