Traveling east on I-10

(Tonopah, AZ)   Hi 93  Lo  57    

My first night on the road was in Banning CA.  As I came near the city I could see and smell smoke.

There was a wildfire going that burned over 3000 acres. My campground was not affected.  I ended up needing to stay another night because of the high winds.  I was not really happy there.  I was placed between 2 permanent residents.  They didn't bother me but I didn't feel comfortable.  I left Friday for Tonopah AZ   It was about a four hour drive.  This place is sparse but clean.   There are buildings for activities.   I got hooked up and there are many over-the-air TV channels.  The A/C is running full blast.  The regular price for this place is $32 but because I have my Passport America card it is only costing me $16.  Not a bad deal.  

 

 Here is the sun setting in Banning.   Baby has found himself a place to be while traveling.  He has adjusted very well.

 Below is my place for the night.   I now have someone on the far side.  Many large rigs pulled in after I did.  The office closes at 2:30p.   I made it in before that so I didn't have to self register.

Stopped for a sandwich at Subway for lunch.  Next time I will stop
an hour before that and beat the lunch rush.   I drove on further and
ate at a rest area.
