Coming in from the east, I was a bit afraid of driving into Bakersfield
- with Vapor lock, stiff grades and all that.
In the end, everything was a *blast*. The Eleganza ran up the hill (with
a bit of a slow down from the cruise control set at 55 going down to
45), and enjoyed going down hill a lot. Nice curves they have there.
It was way less of a deal than the grades in New Mexico. Even though the
coach managed them as well, with the cruise set to 55, two, three hills
were only climbed going 35 (and maybe even slower).
Still, the coach made it, the original cruise control is working great,
and I am now sitting at camp Walmart in Bakersfield and enjoying the
evening.
