Dateline: Santa Nella, CA. This little burg is a completely artificial 'town' created by the intersection of Interstate 5 and a relatively busy state highway. There are multiple truck stops, motels, fast food outlets, motels, etc. There used to be a full-sized copy of the Michelangelo's Pieta, the original of which lives in St. Peters Basilica at the Vatican. What this copy was doing decorating a truckstop motel is anybodies guess.
We've stopped at an RV park at which we've stopped many times before, only this time it is nearly full, and it has never been full before. True, we are here at a different time of year, we normally pass through in December and again in February, this time it is almost April. There were fewer RVs on the highways today, but more in the park. I have to wonder if the economic downturn is causing people to live in their RVs, having let their homes go? If they already own an RV it would be a cheap way to live.
We had blue skies and highs in the 70s, with a bit of wind. I saw some people flying kites, a classic springtime amusement. Considering the cold weather elsewhere in the country, CA is having a marvelous spring.
