May 10, 2015 We’ve enjoyed the coast, the desert, then mountains, and today we dropped down into the plains. We double checked the weather to make sure we weren’t driving into the path of a tornado – everything looked fine. So we headed south to I40 then east on Route 66 to Texas.

We had a leisurely breakfast, liberating them from some of their granola stash. Then we packed up and headed up “The 15” back toward Rancho… Continue reading Day 4 – Corona to Santa Monica
