Our 2020 Spring travels,

Corning, CA – Sunday May 3, 2020

Today was the long drive so we were up early and rolling at 6:00 a.m. Got here at the rest stop just north of Corning at 4:00 p.m. with 490 miles.

Gas pricing Bakersfield: February $3.20. May $2.30
Dunnigan: February $2.94. May $2.54

The only place we had traffic was between Stockton and Sacramento. The traffic in downtown Sacramento was wide open with a little congestion by the airport then wide open again. Monday looks to be 400 miles.

Boron, AZ – Saturday May 2, 2020

We got an early start out of Quartzsite this morning. We had wheels rolling at 6:00 a.m. I wanted to get north of Joshua Tree National Park and on our way to Barstow before it got hot. I don’t really like to over working the coach by driving in really hot weather. Quartzsite and Palm Spring are going to get back to 100 and Boron is getting to 82.

We got gas at the AZ-CA boarder in February for $2.70 and in May for $1.80.

Here is today’s drive and tonight stopping point the Boron Rest Stop, 296 miles.

Tomorrow will be the long drive to Northern California.
