While at Burning Man, Peter meets Mike and Cork from Redding. Mike owns a similar camper van and loves it, so Cork offers to buy Splinter from Peter. As Peter has been coveting an RV with slides, he agrees and the deal is made. We meet them at the Nut Tree Airport to complete the transaction on a day the temps are hovering around 105 degrees. While the Redding guys are fine with the heat, us coastal dwellers suffer.

It's a Friday afternoon and already traffic has piled up coming out of the Bay Area, so we decide to take I-5 south to avoid the weekend crowd.

| Golden Hills of California |

As we travel south we are treated with deepening shadows on the hills and monsoon clouds coming in.

The sunset turns spectacular over Pacheco Pass.

By the time we pass Casa de las Fruitas and head towards Hollister, the sunset is in full swing.

Bye, bye Splinter!
We had a great time with you and hope Cork will enjoy you as much as we did.
Now the hunt is on for our next RV.
