SBIFF Day 2

Well, day 2 has been a LONG day. We left Las Cruces, N.M. at 8 a.m. and arrived in Newbury Park, California about 12:00 a.m. pacific time.

A couple of observations about California...

1. At the border when entering the state of California there is an inspection for ALL vehicles. Reminded me of the eastern block countries in Europe of old.

2. The speed limit for a vehicle towing a trailer is 55 mph! What's up with that?

3. Gas prices here are higher than anywhere else, so far. About $2.65 per gallon.

4. The road surface is pretty darn rough! Going through L.A. was brutal.

5. There are no road markers for hotels. It's hard to find a hotel here, not because there aren't any but because there aren't any signs to tell you where they are.

Anyway, we will be in Santa Barbara, CA. Wednesday.

Stay Tuned.

Chris & Dave.
