This morning we also got up very early, took the luggage to the car, got a coffee, and then we were able to start heading west towards California at 8:00 AM.
We have a total of about 6 hours of driving ahead of us through the desert and the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. Our next destination is the city of Exeter below Fresno. From there, we plan to visit Sequoia National Park over the next few days.
