We got underway about 8:00 this morning for the trek to the San Diego area. I10 to I8 is the route we chose, not that there are many options without adding significant miles. The drive was without problems. It actually goes from below sea level in the Imperial Valley to about 4200'. From the pass, the road descends at a 6% grade rate for 13 miles to the city. The valley was interesting with all the farming and huge fields of vegetables planted in rows straight as an arrow. Yuma is interesting with all the RV Parks scattered everywhere. Gas is about 30 cents a gallon higher in California, so we topped off there. I filled up after arriving at $2.95.
The RV park we selected is in Escondido. I wanted to park north of San Diego so when we leave Thursday morning, we won't have as much traffic to deal with. We will have about a one hour drive going to and returning from Balboa Park due to traffic.
