Only 76 miles to go today (this is a great way to travel!). We cut through the countryside for first 20 miles and then its I-15 to San Diego. It’s much hotter than is usual (this has happened to us repeatedly since entering CA in late June) but a few degrees cooler as we pull into Santee Lakes Regional Park. And it is a lovely park – it will be great for bike riding.
Karma thinks we are headed to an off-leash dog park and begins to ‘talk’ like crazy. In spite of being harnessed, she manages to get her front end down into the foot well and somehow takes 3 tennis balls out of the ‘let’s-play-ball’ bag. Poor dog, there is no ‘off-leash’ area here and, so far, we’ve been unable to locate one in a 15 mile radius. Guess we’ll have to venture farther afield.
We do only the absolute essentials of setting camp until it gets a bit cooler. The ceiling vent fans are running rather than the AC. We return from completing the set-up later on and find the fans are off. Closer inspection reveals that we have no 12 volt power at all! By the time we researched the problem a bit, it was too dark out to check whether it’s a battery problem. We did back the truck in close and re-connect to see if that changed anything - it didn’t. But we picked up a fuse puller and tester in town as well. It being a week-end, we don’t want to get ‘professional help’ if we can solve it ourselves.
