On the Road Again, Finally!!!

Simi Valley, California

We were beginning to wonder if we were going to have to spend the summer in Arizona, but after several delays for doctor visits, we were finally able to hit the road.

It had been a unusually cool May for Arizona, but a few days before we left it turned much warmer.  It was 107 the day before we left and definitely time to leave town.

We headed west in search of cooler temperatures but didn't find any until we reached Simi Valley.  It's slow going in California because vehicles towing trailers can only go 55 mph even on the Interstate.  It would have been great to make the trip around LA at a faster pace.  It's much nicer now that we are away from all that congestion.

We stopped in Simi Valley because we wanted to visit the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.  The facility is located on a hill overlooking the countryside.  The locals said on a clear day the Channel Islands are visible. 

  It was very cloudy the day we were there (commonly referred to as the June Gloom) but it is easy to imagine how beautiful it would be with the sun shining and no drought.
