08/31/17 - This morning left at 8 am since I could not sleep.  I had slept on the couch because it was very warm and I had a little more breeze than in the bedroom so I heard more noises during the night.  I also decided to travel much earlier since it is cooler in the morning than in the afternoon and I would sit out the heat in the afternoon.  Sharon and Dave told me about a large gravel parking lot behind a Best Western in Kettleman City, CA so that is where I am parked this evening.  I have a semi truck next to me that was here before I was and just recently a truck towing a car is on the other side of me but they are not in the truck so I think they just parked it for the night.  I had a good traveling day.  Off to bed soon.  Not sure whether it will be the bed or the couch but will be quieter than Walmart.  It is still very warm ad the sun is down so hopefully will cool off soon.  Off to bed
