Arrived Port Hueneme............

about 1400 today. Boy...........DO NOT trust GPS mapping if the program is kinda old. Also, do not trust Becky's memory (well it has been 10 years since she was last here) for directions. I went past a turn that led to the CB Base and then turned off on a side street so I could get back on track. Big Mistake!! I went down a dead end street, actually there was a cul de sac there and I would have been OK to turn around if it wasn't for parked vehicles and a barrier where work was in progress. Eventually made it back to the CB base; however, came in wrong entrance and was still lost. Anyway, we are finally parked, have cable TV and I'm "borrowing" a wifi signal from someplace. Becky is off to see her Old Bud and I'm just kicking back for the rest of the afternoon. Temperatures NICE............I would guess low 70s.

We were all set to have dinner at the casino buffet last night.................until we saw the prices. It seems they were having a "special" Easter buffet. Theme was seafood. Price was $34.95 per person. We found a snack bar and had a snack. Contributed to my Red Brothers for awhile. What we lost could have paid for one buffet. I should have sent Becky in with a large plastic bag.

Getting through LA wasn't as bad as I expected. We took a slight detour north and kinda by passed LA by taking Highway 210. A couple of traffic fender benders slowed us down; but, we're in no hurry anyway so got through OK.

Gonna meet Mommyx4 tomorrow for some local caching. We met her family in Yuma and her husband works while she and her 4 kids spend a good deal of time geocaching. The kids are home schooled and they're a neat family who move on to a new post every 4 months or so. Right now they are in Oxnard. Will be fun keeping in touch with them.

That about wraps up our adventure since last night. Later. W&B
