Back to Baja, day 5

Thank Google for the lack of pictures. I will edit the posts as soon as I figure out how to work with or around their latest changes.

It's amazing how well rested you feel when you're not on the side of the road in the cold and snow with diesel trucks blasting around and through at any and all hours of the night. Not that I'm complaining, its been a great trip. But this morning, I felt very well rested.

Our day was filled with mostly errands. The motor home developed a crack from top to bottom of the drivers side windshield after navigating some rather nasty parts of highway 99. As we were heading towards Palm Springs, Peter had made arrangements with his insurance to have it replaced. Great. The challenges come in because the place that is going to fix the glass, can't store the motor home. Okay, so we can find a place to store and luckily, the glass company is willing to install the glass where ever it's parked.

We had been told that Bermuda Dunes Executive Airport (a local private airport), would store motor homes. They told us that they try not to. Fortunately they did have a place that gave a discount to people from the airport, which we had now just become…. We dashed over and made arrangements. All good. Now, we were on bikes rather than the motor home. So back to grab one of each.

Parked. Now back to sign the contract for the glass. Good, except they can't do that until they have a price for and order the glass. Okay, so we head off to find the airport that our wives will be landing at and we might as well grab some lunch.

Great lunch, some touring around, back to sign the contract they finally had a price for pretty much filled the rest of the afternoon.

We did manage to find our planned route from Palm Springs toward Tecate. Highway 42 is a twisty road that was paved over the existing rocks, hills and valleys of the hills that boarder one side of the Palm Desert. Should be a fun trip.
