The Baseball Trip 2018

Day 10   Wednesday, July 11, 2018

We beat hell out of Lost Hills fast in order to save our souls. Down through Wasco and into more scrub land and the outer limits of the Mojave.

Random observation from Randy: Wasco's high school teams should be called the Wabbits.

Here is an idea of the scenery:

A storm was a'brewin' up ahead, but we missed it. Just a few sprinkles here and there.

Storm's a brewin'.

We arrived at Petco Park in San Diego just in time for first pitch. Here are some shots of the park:

 Two of the several restaurants that ring the concourse.

Home plate and base lines.

The Dodgers beat the Padres, 4-2, as Kenta Maeda stymied the Padres' bats for six innings.

Favorite road names:  20 Mule Team Road

                                        Rocket Site Road

                                        Clay Mine Road

Favorite Town Names:  Needles, California

                                       Tehachapi, California

Random observation from Randy: 'Reduce speed when wet.' Maybe we should slow down. I am feeling a bit damp.

Nothing to count. That's what happens when you drive through a desert.

It was rough finding a motel room in or anywhere near San Diego that night: "I'm sorry, but we're all booked up. Are you two here for Pride Week?"

Next: LA
