LEFT CALIENTE

 I departed Caliente mid-morning heading homeward.  I plan to make the return journey more leisurely than my drive down since I want to wait until April 1 to cross the border when I don't need to get a Covid test.  It was another warm one today with 33C showing on my car thermometer most of the afternoon.  Bishop, CA where I may get to tomorrow is showing showers and a high of 14C.  Reno, NV is only 11C and showers.  Back to reality for me, I guess.
