Day 3
Woke up this morning early (05:20)after sleeping pretty hard last night. Willow fire had the alarms go off in the middle of the night and they have really loud house tones(speakers inside the station). In my confusion I was wondering if I needed to go on the call or get to the bathroom. Regardless, I think we all slept very well.
Our goal today is to get to San Fernando just outside of LA where we will stay with a friend of Eduardo’s. they have promised us food, drink and sleep. We are about half way there and have stopped at the, “In and Out” for a greasy meal. The temperature is warming up and is getting to the hot stage. It will be nice to sleep outside.
Must get rolling again.
