'Stay At Home' Quarantine Road Trip

Day 1: Cali to Arizona: Too bad that it takes a pandemic to be able to drive on open freeways in California! I've never seen anything like it here, there was still some traffic - and if we were in Michigan we would still call it rush hour traffic hahah - but nothing like the normal congestion.

I was already on hyper germ awareness/warfare, but doing this cross-country trip has escalated it! Dave is reluctantly wearing gloves any times he leaves the RV, then isn't allowed to touch the outdoor handle to come back inside - he could probably perform surgery with the whole glove removal/hand washing routine he's going thru LOL. I didn't leave the RV once until we got to the campground.

Teri gave me this roller ball of "peace and calming" essential oils - I've been rolling it on  and sniffing it like crazy!! 

We could go into a Carl's Jr to order take-out lunch, the drive-thru's are open but when you're driving a big ol' motorhome you can't go thru drive-thrus! I read that this is a problem right now for truckers - if the dining room/ordering counters are closed, they obviously can't go thru the drive-thru in their trucks, and did you know you cannot walk up to a drive-thru window? So how are they supposed to get food? So Dave was able to walk into Carl's Jr (bathrooms are closed tho - just fyi) and place his order, then waited for them to cook it to order. Nothing like normally ordering fast food - plan on it taking quite a bit longer than "the old days". Hey - after all the years of listening to your parents and grandparents' stories of the good old days are we now entering our own 'good old day's' era??? Hmmmmm....

Back on the Road - more tomorrow and I'll try to remember to take pictures!
