2019 West Bound - Day 5

I had planned each day on the return as easier & shorter, and today was the shortest so far.  We drove from the town of our favorite Mexican restaurant ever (La Unica) to just East of LA today.  Two interesting things happened today. Number one was that we met a very interesting homeless guy at the supercharger in Quartzite Arizona. He was a very interesting guy and we had some great conversations over lunch at the Carl's Jr next to the supercharger. I wish I had more time to spend to hear his whole story...

The second interesting thing was that at the Cabazon supercharger while discussing which stall (original or temporary) had the best charging rate, I had a delightful conversation with Seal.  You know, the singer... He was a very nice guy and we chatted for a while. As he was leaving to go on his way he said that "it was nice talking with you brother".  Wow.

Here are the details for the day:

502.1 miles, 155.9 kWh, 311 Wh/mi (3.2 miles/kWh)
