San Diego Day 1

First day here.  with Phx in the rear-view mirror:

And then tragedy: the hanger rod snapped.  But I did replace it with a very sturdy rod purchased at Target in Yuma.  But I found I did like to have the rear-view that the fallen clothes gave me.
Sad Sinking Shirts








The drive was long and there was an accident just on the other side of El Centro.  But I should say that I ventured up Imperial Ave in El Centro looking for the Costco and it was quite the drive.  The town has a small town feel to it, but the activity is very down one street.  Felt like El Centro is shaped like a large butterfly.  And then just 10 miles beyond the butterfly, there was an accident.  Seemed to be a rough one since about 6 helicopters, firetrucks, towtrucks, and 2,234 policemen were there.  I hope everyone survived.


I was waiting and driving with the sun screen up to keep the angry sun off me.  And we waited. And waited. And waited.  And then finally we were able to move some!!!


 So I tried to get some shots of the hot fire fighters but I was also so happy to be moving that I really didn't care much! So there is the end of the fire truck and then you can kind of see the squished care on the left, at the left.  there was a heafty down slope on the other side that I think a few cars may have taken a dive down... not sure.

Finally after being on the road for 7.5 hours I arrived in SD, unloaded and turned into a vegetable.  Now bed on this first uneventful day.  But it was a travel day.
