Well, friends. We found our winding way to Colton California, and did not bust. Thankfully, there are no bathroom scales in motel rooms. We glanced at the idea of actually seeing the ocean, the Pacific to be specific,just an hour away, but decided that a cool, windy October day may not be the time.So we are turning homeward along a completely different path. We may touch Mexico.Plans include Joshua Tree, the Sonoran desert, Saguaro National Park, the White Sands Museum, Carlsbad Caverns, Guadalupe National Park, Then, we'll see.
