Hello again, Travis AFB

We parted ways with Rod and Karen yesterday morning as we left Tecopa Hot Springs. Tonight they are in Boise spending an evening with Wendy and Roger (daughter and son-in-law), and we are in the Famcamp at Travis AFB listening to the rain pound on the roof. From the looks of things, there has been a lot of rain go through here and lots more to come.

Two nights in Las Vegas gave us an opportunity to have a brief visit with Bob and Sharon Jayne before they left for home, and Rod and Karen spent the better part of a day visiting Hoover Dam. They were not able to join a tour group, but they spent lots of time sightseeing on their own.

Then the four of us went on to Tecopa Hot Springs, a quirky little RV park in the middle of nowhere near the southern border of Death Valley. We did take several opportunities to soak in the mineral baths. One lady has been staying at this park every winter for the past 27 years and insists the water is why she isn't in a wheelchair due to arthritis and osteoporosis.

We will stay here for five nights and probably go to San Jose on Monday to see the Schulers. Then we will begin the homeward trek in earnest, but we haven't decided which route we will take. Ciao.
