"California here I come, NOT back where I started from." Apologies to Al Jolsen for the rewrite!
We are barely into California, camping at a private campground on the banks of what was once the mighty Colorado river.  Due to the many dams and irrigation withdrawals, it is mighty no more. We were only here a few hours when it started to rain and the TV was warning of flash flood watches. It rained all night the first night. We could really see that the river had risen overnight. The second day and night brought more rain. Apparently, according to the meteorologist, they have gotten 1/3 of their normal yearly rainfall in the last 48 hours! We sure timed that well! The river is certainly up, but we did not wash into it or experience flooding. Luckily, we had TV for Denny and quilting for me. We are a bit stir crazy, having been stuck in the RV for 2 days but clearing is expected today, so we are on our way! We will be off grid for the next few days at Joshua Tree National Park.

Out the front windshield

I see a bit of blue coming our way!
