Day 7-Finally
Today was our final leg to hit the west coast. We left Tuscon for San Diego around 1pm taking route 8. It was a pretty uneventful drive through the desert until we hit the center of the world. Located in Facility,CA a local mayor dubbed an area in his small town the center of the world. It was pretty much a bunch of junk in one spot but it was funny to see. From there we kept driving and made another stop at a gravity hill. Basically you stop your car put it into neutral on the steep end of the hill where it would normally roll back, but it actually looks like your going up the hill. These two things were the only eventful parts of our drive besides getting stopped by boarder patrol at checkpoints numerous times. Overall this day was just about hitting our initial destination. California.

ReplyDeleteHey Guys - This is Norman, Donnie and Jim saying hello and wondering how your travels are going since you left our home in 'Beautiful Palm Springs'!! We hope you've enjoyed 'Vegas by now and are headed up through St. George and on to Bryce. Donnie wants to know why you didn't take advantage of the outdoor shower with the 40 mile view while you were staying here.... FOOLS!! First, you skip the Grand Canyon, then you missed the outdoor shower. We expect to see photos of the three of you in your signature buddy-pile pose surrounded by 'Vegas showgirls or otherwise we will consider the trip a FAILURE!! So, please update your blog and keep us all entertained as we enjoy your adventure together. Travel safely and well. This is Howie's cousin Jim twice removed signing off from Palm Springs.... California's desert paradise!
