We're off

Jan 3, loaded and ready to go. Baja here we come.

 We made it to a rest stop on I 5 just out of Vancouver WA the night of the Jan 3.  We discovered a water system fault and went to Camping World in Portland the next morning.  Huge rain and wind.  Semi solved the water problem (Manana).  Blew a trailer tire that night flying down I5 mid Oregon.  Cool Highway Patrol showed up and helped us change it.  New tire plus and extra wheel and tire in Medford Oregon.  Camped on the Rogue River late.  Day three a rest stop on I5 in central California.  Day five Palm Springs and to day Jan 7 we are in El Centro, Southern California, near the Mexican border.  We have stocked the cellar with thirty litres of wine, the freezer with steaks and other various meats and any other staples we deemed necessary.  I crawled under the trailer at the RV Resort we are at and removed the liner for the water tank and low and behold found a kink in the water line between the tank and the pump.  All is fixed and tomorrow we will move to Potrero CA. (three miles from the border at Tecate).  We plan to zip in to Tecate, walk across the border and get our visas and paperwork done, then Saturday it's Coyote Beach or bust.
