We left West Covina this morning after relaxing for a couple of days. We knew today was going to be a little slow going because we had to climb (again) Grapevine on Interstate 5 north. This is a large, steep grade that I’ve heard truck drivers talk about for years…now, twice in the last two weeks, I’ve had the chance to experience it for myself. Honestly, after Cabbage Hill (Oregon), Death Valley (California), and the trip up to Big Bear Lake last weekend, this wasn’t that big of a deal!
We are heading to Livermore, CA for our last show of the season – the Bankhead Theatre. The show is on Sunday afternoon but we’ll be arriving on Saturday night to get some rest before the 6am call time. I’m looking forward to the show and feel pretty rested after these last few days off. The time we spent at Big Bear Lake and the last few days in Los Angeles have been refreshing….one more show and the we start heading back to Virginia.
