Day 3 Butterfield Ranch RV Resort Julian, California

Last night the wind blew hard. We had heard to expect gusts up to 60 miles an hour. We pulled the slides in during the night to protect the slide covers. The walls were literally closing in! This morning it is very chilly with a high predicted for 48 degrees. Tim saw a rainbow and then we actually had spitting snow flurries for a short period of time.

Now there is snow on the nearby mountaintop.

Then it began to rain steadily. The wind was wicked strong.

We stayed here for one more night because the Daytona 500 is today. We knew that if we stayed here, Tim could watch the race. We thought he might be able to see it at the clubhouse, but the TV wouldn’t work. We were able to use the hot spot and stream it in the RV. Denny Hamlin, Tim’s driver, won the race.

In the end it was a good thing that we didn’t have plans to go anywhere. It was our worst weather day so far!
