The interlude....

6:45 am - Monday - October 16th - Bishop, CA - 44° F, humidity 72%, wind 5 mph out of the northwest....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 85° F.  The forecast high in Fontana, where we are headed today, will be 92° F.  Yup, back into the heat!  On this date in 2015 TLE I were in Riverside, CA at the rehearsal dinner for our daughter Kate's wedding.....↴

Today (Monday)

Yesterday (Sunday)

We slept with the windows open Saturday night, something we haven't done for quite a while, and it got down to 50° F in the bedroom by 6 am Sunday morning....nice!  We're glad we decided to take a two night interlude here in Bishop before driving the final 255 miles to the Elks Lodge in Fontana, CA Monday.   

Around 10 am we decided to make our semi annual trek over to Erick Schat's Bakery on Main Street.  It takes about 10 minutes to walk the 4 blocks.  For the first time in a couple of weeks we had crystal clear, blue, sunny skies.  We are usually here mid week, and Schat's is usually not extremely busy then, but on a Sunday it was packed!  The line to order pastries and coffee was out the door, but who is in a hurry, right?  We slowly inched our way around to the pastries enjoying the amazing aromas permeating every square inch of the establishment.  TLE ordered a Cheese Danish, and I an Apple Fritter.  Their coffee is always exceptional, and Sunday was no exception.  By the time we got back outside to the alfresco dining area several tables had cleared, and we managed to snag one with a tad of shade being cast by a traffic signal pole.....

.....this store in Bishop was the original Schat's Bakery, and then there was one in Mammoth Lakes, CA.  I believe there are also, now, locations in Torrance, CA and Escondido, CA.  We've only been to the ones in Bishop and Mammoth Lakes.  Anyway, TLE always buys a couple of loaves of bread, and this day was also no exception.

After our pastries and coffee we walked back up Main Street to Smart & Final to buy a few things before making our way back to Bishop RV Park, and our home on wheels.    I was almost noon time when we returned, and time for a nap....lol.  We lazed around all afternoon, and had intended to walk to one of the local eateries for dinner, but neither of us was hungry enough to have a big dinner, or even split one, so TLE made a few snacks, and we stayed home.  

We are at the beginning of a brief warming trend in SoCal lasting through the weekend, but then getting back into the 80's next week.  We'll spend a few nights in Fontana before driving the final 126 miles to Glamis North Hot Springs where we'll spend the next 6 months.  Here are the weather forecasts for Fontana and Glamis (Niland, CA).....

....it is going to be quite warm in Glamis over the weekend, but by Monday it will be back into the 80's.  We're hoping this is summer's last gasp.....we'll see.  Time to get ready to roll our wheels!

Thanks for stopping by!
