Our tentative traveling plan is to reach somewhere between Barstow and Bakersfield at the end of the first day on Friday the 11th. We’ll leave at sunup and drive for about 10 hours. The AC needs more work than just a recharge, so we’ll have to sweat it out at first. We should be able to make it out of the desert area by the end of the first day.

By the end of day two, we hope to stop somewhere around Redding and stay in a hotel at a casino. They won’t let us stay for free, but they’ll let us park the RV for free.

Sunday afternoon is when we should arrive at the land.

Tom’s back to thinking that a 3-story dome may be cool, though we’ll only have about 1500 square feet when we first move in. That’ll be a mansion compared to the RV and whatever tents we put up! Even compared to the long, narrow garage.

We were thinking of having a cellar, a main floor, plus a smaller upper floor. In the end, it may amount to the same square footage as this house.
