The two RV Gypsies entered California
and took a few photos along the way
until their RV broke down.

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

The two RV Gypsies are not sure what the below structure is, but thought it interesting, so Karen Duquette quickly snapped a photo from the highway as they drove by it in their RV.

The two RV Gypsies 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.

unhappy faceLots 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 the two RV Gypsies homeless. They broke down around 6 p.m. Eventually, while standing outside of their RV, Karen Duquette noticed two men in a car watching the two RV Gypsies from across the street. They quickly got back in the RV and locked the door. Almost immediately, the tow truck came and it was about 10 p.m. by them. The men in the car across the street drove away when the tow truck driver arrived. 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. The two RV Gypsies did not get any sleep that night at all. Their jeep also had problems and went into repair for several days, but it could not be fixed. They 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)
