Bad Weather Coming

It has been so long since it has rained in Southern California that the prospect of the wet stuff has everyone in a tizzy.  And it is not supposed to rain until Tuesday with the uproar starting on Sunday!

As it is Easter, I attended church in Atascadero and was warmly welcomed at the United Methodist Church.  Since I have had enough of the wine tasting and I need some time to myself, I threw John out of the RV!  He went off to taste some more wines while I did the laundry, washed the floor, and took a nap.  When he returned after tasting only at Justine Vineyards and finding the other three wineries closed, I left him at home while I grocery shopped.  It was good to be separated for an afternoon.

Monday morning, we took the rain and wind warnings seriously and decided not to go to Sequoia National Park (where they were predicting 3-6 inches of snow!) and instead found a park in the Mojave Desert near the town of Mojave, outside of Andrews AFB. We won’t escape the wind but at least it won’t snow here!

The park is in Rainbow Basin Natural Landmark and is run by BLM.  Our RV is overlooking Owl Canyon with high cliffs and rolling hills all around us. We took a short hike up Owl Canyon but forgot the camera!  It’s cold enough and so windy that we will have no campfire.
