Day 207 (Quartzsite AZ)

We finally had solar panels (3) installed on our roof. With a sunny day (all day), we can go all night: TV/DVR, lights, fans, refrigerator (on propane) and no a/c. So we can be off the grid – saves some money and more importantly minimizes our carbon footprint!
While driving through California we passed signs pointing to a prison off to the right of the road. It was far enough out there that we couldn’t see any buildings but we did see this warning sign on the road “Do not pick up hitchhikers”. Like drivers need to be reminded . . .
