It was a 550 mile drive. Sunny but cool and light traffic. No problems except when I put on my Polaroid sun glasses and looked at my computer which displays a GPS map, it was black. No problem, as I have a big Garmin GPS. After a while I found out the screen on my new computer must also be Polarized because when I switched back to standard glasses everything was fine.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_3562_thumb-25255B6-25255D.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; display: inline; float: left; margin: 10px 10px 0px 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"Parked RV in Drive\" src=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_3562_thumb-25255B6-25255D-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3562\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: large;\">Our next stop was only 90 more miles and we got to Greg &amp; Sandy Lewis\u2019s about 9:30 AM.
