Oh! did I ever get revenge for being cooped up in that car today!! I was my sleepy, quiet self all the way to Lone Pine, Ca.-we got to the Alabama Hills Inn, and once in the room, Carol took off my leash but left the door open (we have a back door that looks over the mountains) and off I went, ZOOM--I was outa there!! It was funny watching the worried look on Carol's face as she walked quickly behind me. Always so scared I'm gonna go somewhere I'm not supposed to-I stopped and let her pick me up and it all made me feel so much better. I even played a game of Eddie and ate a big plate of chicken and potatoes-with organic carrots-I really feel like crashing but I will continue my recap of this 21st day on the road!!
None of us wanted to get out of THAT bed this morning, but they give you a $24. breakfast and it is over at 10:00, so you get up and get going-We all sat at the same table as last night out in the courtyard and Carol shared her over-easy eggs and bacon with me, the whole grain toast was so good.
After we checked out, Carol remembered that she could get the same wine she had the night before for 35% off the menu price, so she bought 4 more bottles to take to Arizona.
We drove to a car wash and Barney washed the car, seems as though the windows need to be real clean for the drive we are taking today and did he make them shine!! Did I mention what a beautiful day it was today?? WOW blue skies and slightly warm-we headed south for Yosemite National Park. There were many other cars going that way also, so we were all going up and down and around again (I just went to bed, after eating the milk bone that the park ranger gave me) but I could tell every time the car slowed down that one of them would grab the camera and jump out and "click" then off we go......Finally I got to get out and walk around for a smell and a pee-The mountains were bigger than any of the others that we had seen-huge towers of rock-many still had snow on them. Soon, they realized that we still had a long way till we got to our final destination (REALLY!! same story, different day). Now we were on the east side of the mountain range and the desert was starting to appear. We were finally on a highway and Barney is taking photos from inside the car-those should be interesting!!!not!!maybe!!!
As usual, 7:30 was coming fast and low and behold-we arrived.
Like I said, I'm ready to crash-tomorrow we drive to Kingman, Arizona, Carol says she is going to go to the casino and play the slots-hope she wins-then maybe we could fly home..... later J-
