Day 1 Sept 8 to Chiriaco Summit and General Patton Museum

It is so hot and humid in San Diego, we are melting. It doesn't help that our home AC broke Monday. Asi will come on the 28th when we get home. Hopefully we took care of all of the details at home. I finally got a call back from vbt to set up the bike trip in Spain next summer. The 10 day bike trip costs more than the 14-day Cruise although we haven't booked any shore excursions yet. And the airfare is counted in the bike trip price.

   Braun got his morning walk, Paul gave the RV a bath and we both showered but you can't get dry it's too humid. I think we have everything turned off at home, we went through our checklist this time so we didn't forget anything and I have my keys this time. It sprinkled a little bit but not much and it stopped already.

   We drove past that really cool iron worker place with all the animals. This time I saw a series of horses jumping over the road. Wasn't fast enough to get to get a picture.

    We drove through Temecula and onto highway 74 and we passed the big fire going on up in Hemet.

We passed the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument and stopped to see if I could get a sticker and a stamp. But no, they're closed Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. Only open Friday Saturday and Sunday but there's a bunch of cars in the lot. humm...btw it's 101 degrees

We are thinking after we see the Patton museum we will watch the Patton movie tonight.

Driving through Palm desert right now it's 106°.

Now we arrived at Chiraco Summit. Not much here.

We found our way to the harvest host location on BLM land behind the museum. No generators after 9pm. It will still be over 80 degrees at 9p, so we lose our AC. I'll be fine but Paul won't be happy. The camp host's name is Paul also. He is a scruffy older guy that lives here.

We set up and settled in to watch Patton win WW2.
