Thanks paulj
There are not many options getting from West to East in this part of the world.
I looked at heading through Clear Lake, CA, but I promised never to spend a dollar, or visit that county. I have a sailing acquaintance that was charged with murder after a woman on his boat was killed by the drunk sheriff that drove over the top of their boat at 50mph in the dark, and the sheriff was never checked for BAC or charged. A truly corrupt county. I had amazing conversations with Clear Lake County Commissioners and the CA state attorney General (Moonbeam?).
My acquaintance was acquitted, but it ruined his life. The sheriff was voted out of office, but was never charged. The CA Innocence Project took on the case and provided some clarity to the situation.
