Well Kurt, I have finally arrived at my starting point. And I see what ya mean! the 18 has misc rocks on it, but nothing horrible and was easy to get up.
Left Tehachapi at 11, was unhitched and cleaned out of stinky stiff and perishables by 2. Sunny and quiet all the way. Tho, Mojave is not the most exciting for scenery, I enjoy that route (58 to 395 and then the 15 into home)
I will go back to that park when the weather is better

It was very pretty but below freezing this am.
The entire trip was 2545 miles.
Nothing horrible happened at home, not a leak, spoiled bit of food or other things. The only suprise was a dead DSL modem, but that was easily replaced, and I am back to an evening at home before I go to work.
The pups are thrilled and greeted thier doggy friends next door merrily. They are still out there telling them all about it.
Mr. Squirrel and Mr. Monkey are still in the car, they are going to get a good bath when I do the laundry tomorrow nite
Next weekend is a thorough scrubbing of the egg and an assesment of water damage. Hopefully I will get away with a simple cleaning, but that will be left to be seen. The cushions are propped up to get the damp edges exposed to air, the covers are pulled and the cubbies opened to allow circulation.
Oh, and I am now using my dish. The permanent one
