Why don't caravaners gather in smaller groups?

Just wondering?


Money. More RVs, more profit. No way around them. Even if they've been coached to stay up with the pack, they spread out on long stretches. San Quintin to Maneandero will be brutal for anyone following.

My RV has been side swiped by an RV but I've never been behind one.

There are just a few companies who specialize in these trips -- I sometimes check their schedule going S/N and it's online.

That's three times as many as the previous years month.

It looks like a Trump caused problem and of course Trump won't take the blame but instead will scapegoat his own DHS Secretary, who now has to live in disgrace because she oversaw the policy of separating children from their parents and then putting the children in cages.

Don't let a known hassle spoil the wonderful times that went before.

John, have you thought about getting a Sentri card? I crossed the other day and it only took me about 2-3 minutes in the Sentri lane. There was maybe 5-6 cars in front of me. Getting a Sentri card was the best money I've ever spent!

We are a dollar or more a gallon more than other states and we have oil wells here and others don't. Insanity.


Does anyone remember the California air quality in the 1960s? that was before those liberals made those awful regulations. with any luck president pooter-grabber will roll back those socialistic, oppressive laws and we will once again be able to see what we are breathing! a clean, healthy environment is part of a liberal ,commie agenda!

Yes, I do remember the thick disgusting smog of the the 1960's and 70's. Near Riverside while getting gas we asked where the fire was - guy replied that was how the air was EVERY DAY. I for one am happy to pay more for gas if the result is cleaner air.

I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley in the 60's. I do remember not being able to go outside to play at recess because SMOG. I like it better now. Anyone who thinks we don't need regulations is ill informed. California is not for everyone but it is for me. Viva AQMD!
