Day 230 (on the road)

We loaded the truck and began our drive from Quartzsite, AZ to Oroville, CA. We decided to leave the rig at the campground and make great time to go see the “big” brother and “new” baby before we head East. We spent the night in a Motel 6 at Coalinga, CA. Talk about cheap – no shampoo, conditioner, nor tissues – price was right and they accept dogs (no additional charge). I guess we can be happy that toilet paper was included. Karma saw a cat, got loose from the room and the chase was on. Karma is speedy, but the cat knew the terrain and I had Karma’s ball as incentive she couldn’t resist. So, we learned that the whistle and ball will bring Karma back but won’t hold her if something as exciting as a cat shows up. Our biggest fear was the surrounding access roads and highway 5 traffic.
