12/22/11 (Thur)
We woke up at 10:30am then we went inside Wal-Mart to McDonald for
breakfast, but the breakfast was over. So we shopped for food, I bought
bacon and roll. Then we went to Vons,
their food was expensive. Tom found good French roll for $3.49 (round 12 roll). Then in the same parking lot they have Dollar Tree, we went inside to look
around. But we only bought the stove lighter. We went across the street to 99 cents stores and we bought red potatoes; 2
bags of Dole Salad; Italian dressing (it was too salty); and tomatoes. We forgot to get red onion, so I went back
again.
Few miles before Yucca Valley,
I saw a cheap place for propane ($2.99/gallon --- fill up 4.4/gallon) I also
get gas for the small tank (gas was $3.60/gallon) I only filled up to $2.50, get my money back for
$1.10. We went to Joshua tree visitor
center before we filled up our gas. (Cash price is $3.45, but credit card is
$3.55). It was passed 5:00 p.m. the gate
is already closed, so we did not pay the $15 fee. We got lost on the way to Jumbo Rock
Campground (the fee for a day is $10, but no water no elect.) The first night we did not pay because it was
very late at night. It was very
cold and windy.
