Mile 300 - Tehachapi

Lesson so far: Bring lots of water. Just looking at the dry hills as I struggle up the 4000 foot uphill grade to Tehachapi California from Bakersfield makes me thirsty. It's over 100 degres out there, and with the constant uphill driving for the last hour, and the AC on, I'm only averaging 32mpg on this stretch.

I left at 6:30 this morning, and took two rest stops and a lunch in Bakersfield before gassing up in Tehachapi.

Back on the road and heading through the Mojave desert next. I'm sweating just thinking about it.

I think I can... I think I can...
