We have successfully set up internet on the road! Alex's phone is acting as a modem. The connection is way too slow to load pictures, so we’ll have to add them later.
When we started today, Melissa was pretty sure that we were in the mountains, but Alex assured her we were not.
“Are you sure?”
“Positive, Wifey.”
This happened about five times, until we hit Mt. McLaughlin and she saw what a real mountain looked like. Alex drove this route once before, so he was prepared for the real mountains.
We hit the Cali border around 1:00 PM today (didn't get driving until 11:30 or so) and after that were even able to take the kitties out of their crate. (Don’t worry, we made a barricade so they can’t get under the driver’s feet.) They were able to be out and about for at least an hour before Bo started getting rowdy and we had to put them back in the crate.
True to stereotypes, the day was rainy and gray until we reached California, when suddenly it became very warm and sunny…. Which also means that there were hardly any trees, and the ground has been a weird orange or white color where there aren’t shrubberies.
We are now about 140 miles away from Sacramento and closing in on already needing our second refill of gas!
Tonight we'll do an Oregon vs. California pictorial. It really changed RIGHT ACROSS THE BORDER.
Oh and Felix, you'll get your picture of our rig.
