CA to NV
Crossing San Mateo Bridge – South Bay. Clouds lined the coast but lightened up as I headed east. I didn’t get photos as the traffic was heavy and there were no places to stop, but the valley was beautiful. It had been very hazy when I came through 2 weeks ago – today, the air was clear, the sky was blue and all of the greens, yellows and browns of the farms were vivid.

Donner Pass on I-80 is in either poor condition or undergoing reconditioning. Both were tough driving. The areas being worked on had narrow lanes. The poor condition areas rattled everything on board. There was not a rest area open from the East Bay until Donner.
Our spot tonight – more room, more grass, more trees and quiet. It feels good to be here.
No one called me on my naming of this morning’s post “Westward” when I was physically headed East. The west coast states do not have the “wild west” feeling that the inland western states have. Even though I was heading in an eastern direction, I felt like I was heading back to the west.
