We finally departed our nice park in Paso Robles and headed east on Monday. We waited for most of the storm activity to settle down and were rewarded with a pretty smooth ride. Just east of Bakersfield on Highway 58 is Tehachapi which bills itself as a leader in wind technology. Justifiably so as there must be thousands of windmills around the city.

We then stayed Monday night at the Famcamp on Edwards AFB just east of Mojave. Edwards is huge as we came in the Rosamond gate and then drove 16 miles to the base center ... and leaving we went about 10 miles the other direction to hook up with Highway 58 again this morning. Nice level campsite with all the amenities but we were warned not to let the pets out by themselves ... just a few coyotes and bobcats.

Tonight we made it to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where we will spend a couple of days before heading toward Tucson. Somewhere near Needles this afternoon we got this shot of typical scenery out the front window.
