06 October 2010 | Interstate 8 East of Yuma
The alarm went off at 0445. Up and at 'em, rise and shine.
Open the front door in time for the wind to blow a sheet of rain into my face. Wonderful. My favorite driving conditions. It was slow going through San Diego but it began to lighten up by the time we got to Alpine. Once we were over Crest Summit, elevation 4200 feet the sun began to rise and the rain stopped.
Our trip to Tucson every year is usually marked by temperatures well over 100 degrees which make driving miserable. Did I mention that our trusty van (Van Morrison) lacked air conditioning?
Fortunately for us the storm that we left behind in San Diego cooled everything down to a somewhat pleasant 85. Hopefully it holds until Mazatlan but I kind of doubt it.
Instead of going right to the motel in Tucson we went to the Dodge dealer. Why? Read the previous post.
