Visalia, California to Kingman, Arizona – 11/21/2014

November 21, 2014 (Friday)

Mike here. We left George and Mary at the restaurant and headed south to Bakersfield, went east and climbed out of the central valley and across south eastern California. Going through Tulare, we just had to hop off the freeway and check out two homes we used to own, the two different times we lived there.

We once owned this house in Tulare, one of Edie's and my favorites. Has a great pool, 5 bedroom, 3 bath, cathedral ceilings in the great room. We had fun there. — We once owned this house in Tulare, one of Edie’s and my favorites. Has a great pool, 4 bedroom, 3 bath, cathedral ceilings in the great room. We had fun there.

Our home the second time in Tulare, nice but no pool.

We climbed out of the fog and grey of the central valley and enjoyed the sun and blue sky of the high desert.

Interesting hills about 20 miles out of Barstow.

Strange south eastern California landscape.

Highway 40 has, in my opinion, more trucks than cars,

Grand vista's near the border. — Grand vistas near the border.

It was dark when we got into Kingman. We found a Cracker Barrel, couldn’t resist, had big salads for dinner and got a peach cobbler to go (which we split after we got to our room).

Edie's other chicken salad. — Edie’s other chicken salad.

We pulled into a McDonald’s and tied into their free wifi, Pricelined a room and got a Quality Inn on Andy Devine Blvd. It was an okay room, comfortable enough for a night’s sleep.

That was our day, hope yours was great.
