Bakersfield, California

We left Joshua Tree National Park a day earlier than planned.

The Boy Scouts drove us out of there. At 6 a.m. about 50 of them did a rousing chant on the level of reveille. We knew the day would be filled with their fervor for all things loud.

We headed to Tehachapi but found the commercial campground there dreary, shall we say. We drove on to Bakersfield and found a campground with wifi and cable. We can watch the Oscars and get email. Life is good!

What is not so good is that I cannot upload pictures I have attached to posts I have done here since our trip began. The software is giving me fits.

Tomorrow we head for Morro Bay. We will be there for eleven days and I am sure there is no internet service available in the State Park. We will try to connect and let you all know what we are up to but cannot promise posts will be anymore timely than these last were.
