It was hard to say goodbye to California. It was really beautiful. We went into Malibu almost everyday. I began to wonder who owned the homes that were behind those fancy gates. Mel Gibson, Charles Bronson, Sting, Rob Reiner, Howie Mandel, Richard Gere, Woopi Goldberg, Sally Fields, Barbara Streisand, Robert Redford, Brittany Speers and Drew Barrymore are just a few. The town's total population is just 13,000

We have been on the road the last two days and we are now in Oklahoma. You had to remember to get gas because sometimes it was a 100 miles or more between stations. The land is beautiful and empty for hundreds and hundreds of miles. In Oklahoma the soil is very red and the grass is green and there are even trees. Arizona and New Mexico are very dry and almost nothing is green. They call their river beds - washes- and they are completely dry.

We are expected a storm tonight with high winds and thunder and lightning. We are at the RV campsite that has the tornado shelter. The camp is almost full and again we are the only pop-up.
