On the Way Home

Weather:

Sunny, windy

We've stopped for the night in Selma, California.  We decided to just go for it and get home as quickly as possible, so we're going to be driving I-5.

But along the way, we found some neat places.  Last night we were in Kingman, Arizona, which bills itself as the heart of historic Route 66.  It's kind of a struggling town, but there are some interesting old buildings.



















This is the county courthouse.



















And this is the municipal courthouse.


This morning we passed the largest forest of windmills I have ever seen, near Mojave.  This shows just part of it.



Today we had lunch in Tehachapi, California, which is a much more prosperous looking small town.


















There were nice murals on several of the buildings.



















Before we got to our hotel in Selma, we had to stop at the world headquarters of Sunmaid Raisins.  We bought lots of yummy stuff in the store.


On to Yreka tomorrow, hoping to beat the next snow storm.
