 The state of California is a hands-free driving state - no cell phones, no texting! Strictly enforced.

Lee and Karen Duquette were not sure what
the below structure is, but thought it was interesting. So Karen Duquette
quickly snapped a photo from the highway as Lee drove by it in the RV. |

design on the hill by the Welcome to California sign. |

Below: At the California checkpoint, the
agent actually entered the RV of the two RV Gypsies and opened their
refrigerator and removed their corn-on-the-cob and their apples, but
not their bananas. This was a first! |

Below: Lee and Karen Duquette drove past
beautiful sand hills and an aqua duct. The photos were taken through
the window of the moving RV. They were not able to stop anyplace. |

Lots of windmills everywhere. |

A SCARY EXPERIENCE: Lots of hills caused
the two RV Gypsies' RV to overheat and their RV had to be towed and
was in repair for about six days, leaving Lee and Karen Duquette homeless
for awhile. They broke down around 6 p.m.
Eventually, while standing outside of their RV, Karen Duquette noticed
FOUR men in a car watching the two RV Gypsies from across the street.
The two RV Gypsies quickly got back in the RV and locked the door.
Almost immediately, the tow truck came and it was about 10 p.m. The
men in the car across the street drove away when the tow truck arrived.
Lee and Karen Duquette were very thankful that the tow truck driver
appeared at just the right time. (This is why most RVers are carrying
guns now-a-days)
It took the tow truck driver almost 2 hours to hook up the RV for
towing. Then the RV was towed for two hours to Freightliner in San Diego.
Lee and Karen Duquette did not get any sleep that night at all. Their
jeep also had problems and went into repair for several days, but the
jeep could not be fixed. Oh MY! Oh MY! They had to buy another tow car,
but almost had a problem because they did not live in California. So
they had to use Karen Duquette's sister address in order to buy the
car. |
