GOODBYE NANCY, HELLO BORON

We only spent one night parked at Nancy's house in Atwater, because we were anxious to get back to Lake Havasu, and Nancy was heading over to the Bay Area early this morning for an event. So, it was late morning when we hit the dreaded southbound Hwy 99, traveling through the metropolis's of Merced, Madera, Fresno, Visalia, Tulare, & Bakersfield. As much as I enjoy driving the motor home, this is one stretch of highway that I really could do without. I wish the government(s) would quit putting up these huge signs telling us how they're spending our tax dollars, and use that money to fix the darn roads! Just think how far a half billion dollars would go toward improving terrible roads like Hwy 99. Can anyone say SOLYNDRA?

It was mid afternoon when we rolled through Mojave, and I decided to stop a little early at an RV park in Boron, and give the local Mexican Restaurant a try for dinner. Our friends, Bill & "D" Hall have stayed in Boron while traveling in their motor home, and told us that the food at Domingo's Mexican Restaurant is excellent. I know, some folks are probably saying "where the hell is Boron"? Well, it's on Hwy 58, between Mojave and Barstow, and I've driven past the little burg a bazillion times, but never stopped. There isn't much in Boron, and it probably survives due to it's close proximity to Edwards Air Force Base.

We had an early dinner at Domingo's, so there weren't many folks in the restaurant. I must say, I can't remember having Mexican food any better than our dinner last night. Patty agreed, our tacos, enchiladas, and tamales were really, really good. We both thought that the meals we had at Ole, Ole inside the Gold Dust West Casino in Carson City were good, but the dinner last night was just simply outstanding. I don't normally rave about food, I just eat it, and move on to the next meal. However, in the future, if we're traveling in the area, and the timing is right, that wasn't the last meal I'll eat at Domingo's in Boron.


This morning, when we get around to motoring down the highway, we'll have about a 3-4 hour drive, and we'll be back in Lake Havasu. When we returned home from spending the summer at the Grand Canyon, we were only there for a few days before taking off for Carson City. This time, we'll be home for several weeks before getting back in the motor home, at least I think that's the plan.
